Question

what are the advantages and disadvantages of platinum ?

Answer 1

ADVANTAGES OF PLATINUM

Platinum’s cool white sheen is perfect for accentuating the sparkle and brilliance of diamonds as it doesn't cause any colour to be reflected in the stone.  

Platinum is extremely durable and strong making it ideal for jewellery that’s worn on a daily basis. It’s highly resistant to stress and withstands both extreme heat and extreme cold, which means platinum jewellery will retain its good looks better than any other metal.

Unlike other jewellery metals, platinum is actually deemed to look better with wear. Surface scratches form a patina that’s considered highly desirable, however, the metal can easily be returned to its original polished state by a jeweller if that’s what you prefer.

Platinum is ideal for allergy sufferers as it doesn't contain any nickel.

DISADVANTAGES OF PLATINUM

Scarcity and exclusivity come at a price. Expect to pay 25-30% more than for the same setting in gold.
