Platinum Engagement Rings

Platinum is a naturally white metal that does not require rhodium plating to maintain its color. It is also more dense and durable than gold, providing superior security for your center diamond. At our Newton showroom, you can feel the distinct weight and premium quality of platinum compared to other precious metals.

Yes, platinum is hypoallergenic because of its high purity (usually 95% pure). Many of our clients in the Greater Boston area with nickel allergies or sensitive skin choose platinum from our Newton Centre studio to ensure their engagement ring is comfortable and irritation-free for a lifetime of wear.

Unlike gold, which loses tiny amounts of metal when scratched, platinum simply shifts its surface. This creates a soft, satiny finish known as a "patina." Many people love this vintage look, but if you prefer a high-polish shine, our Newton workshop can easily buff and polish your ring to restore its original luster.

Platinum is generally more expensive than gold because it is rarer, more difficult to work with, and more of the metal is required to make a ring due to its density. However, our experts in Newton can help you understand how the long-term lack of maintenance costs (like replating) can make platinum a wise investment.
