From Royalty to You: Platinum’s Enduring Legacy
Platinum’s story began over two billion years ago, when meteorites carrying the rare metal struck Earth. Ancient Egyptians used it for ornamentation, but its true prominence emerged in the 18th century. By the late 1700s, it had gained royal favour when King Louis XVI declared it “the only metal fit for kings.” In the 19th century, jewellers like Tiffany and Co. and Cartier embraced platinum for its durability, natural whiteness, and mind-blowing brilliance. At Flawless, we pair this metal with expertly crafted settings to create platinum solitaire engagement rings that reflect lasting beauty and strength.
Platinum vs White Gold: Know the Key Differences
While platinum and white gold look alike, they vary greatly in their composition, durability, and maintenance. Platinum is a naturally white metal, usually 95% pure, dense, and hypoallergenic. White gold is an alloy that is comprised of gold mixed with other white metals, and is plated in rhodium to give it a bright finish. Platinum diamond solitaire engagement rings are heavier and more expensive than white gold. With any purchase, work with our gemologists at Flawless to make the right decision for your engagement ring.
