59230 Travel & Leisure > Outdoors Jan 14, 2008 ergo_items Gear For All Types Of Hunting If you are really into fashion and love jewelry then you will really know the difference between metals. There is lots of difference between a platinum ring and gold ring. But is it worth paying a chunk to buy a platinum ring? Platinum, a white metal, has lured many because of its various qualities. Choice Personal choice plays a great factor in deciding a purchase like a platinum ring. People love to wear neutral colored metals. Properties Platinum's properties are quite different as compared to any other metal. Though platinum looks similar to some of the metals, it is an entirely different experience to wear Platinum jewelry. Platinum jewelry is more than 50% heavier than any counterpart metal like 14 karat gold. Platinum's weight is one of the qualities that make it distinctive. Several people are flabbergasted to discover that the heavier weight of platinum is comfortable and pleasurable to wear. If you are one such person who does not bother much about the weight of jewelry, then you should opt for platinum rings against gold rings as it's much classier and stylish. Strong point Platinum is stronger and more durable than gold. Platinum retains its shape and design much longer than gold due to its durability. Platinum can be shaped into strips and it still retains the shape. Diamonds are set firmly into platinum because of its strength. Rarity Platinum is much costlier than other metals because of it being a very rare metal and more labor intensive. People generally consider platinum rings to be highly prestigious and status symbol because of its cost and rarity. Clarity Purity of platinum is generally high as compared to other metals. Standard purity maintained is 85%, and in most pieces the purity may go over 95%. Platinum jewelry comes with stamps that indicate the percentage of platinum in the piece. Platinum metal is hypoallergenic, thus making it highly appropriate for people suffering from allergies to other metals. Platinum jewelry is pleasing to the eye. Platinum rings have a satin finish and although less gleaming than the highly polished metal rings, platinum's finish is exceptional and stunning. For those people who love to include the color of gold into their platinum jewelry, can go ahead and use it together to make unique looking two toned jewelry. Gold can be used as the base of the jewelry or to accent color on top. Therefore taking into consideration its strength, rarity, sturdiness and uniqueness, the price of platinum jewelry doesn't seem as shocking as some consumers may think. The beauty of platinum jewelry is that you just slip them on your neck or hands or fingers and make a style statement in style. Fringe benefit: you do not need to worry what to wear, while you are setting the floor on fire. Keep your ensemble simple and allow your jewelry to do the talking and take the center stage. So go ahead and take a plunge and spend on platinum jewelry and, enjoy it to the fullest knowledge because you have possession of one of the strongest and rarest metals in jewelry today!
