There are certain factors to consider when you’re shopping for unique engagement rings like which type of metal prongs you might use for your platinum engagement rings.

Platinum

The cool, white sheen of platinum has enhanced the sparkle of diamonds for centuries. Platinum is one of the most popular choices for diamond settings because of its beauty and brilliance.

Platinum heads have been recommended over and over, not only for their attractive look, but also for their incredible strength. Platinum heads hold loose diamonds tightly and firmly.

Most platinum jewelry consists of:

• 95% pure platinum
• 5% iridium or palladium alloy

For the highest quality in platinum, look for the marks "950 Plat".

Durability

Most people choose platinum for its lifetime durability. Platinum is known to be the strongest jewelry metal and is less likely to lose metal when it's scratched or polished. Eventually, all prongs of white gold and even yellow gold wear down, but platinum resists wear.

Platinum’s strength will help you avoid reinforcing your prong with more metal, as time goes on.

Any marks that develop on platinum can usually be polished off, since platinum doesn’t chip or splinter like other metals. A jeweler can always bring platinum back to its original, beautiful, reflective finish with some soft buffing.
