Platinum Guide

Platinum stands out as the material of choice for many engagement and wedding rings, favoured for its durability and elegance. At Diamond Story, platinum is celebrated not only for its beauty but also for its exceptional durability, making it an ideal choice for both engagement and wedding bands.

Strength and Durability of Platinum

Platinum is renowned for its durability, making it a superb choice for wedding and engagement rings that are meant to last a lifetime. This tough metal is perfect for securing precious stones due to its strong and resilient nature, offering a safe and sturdy setting for diamonds and other gemstones. Its ability to withstand daily wear makes it a reliable option for couples looking for rings that maintain their integrity over the years.

Natural Beauty of Platinum

One of the most appealing features of platinum is its naturally white sheen, which remains consistent without the need for rhodium plating. This unique characteristic ensures that platinum wedding bands maintain their lustrous appearance throughout their lifespan. The inherent whiteness of platinum enhances the brilliance of diamonds, making them appear even more vibrant and sparkling.

Maintenance and Care for Platinum Rings

While platinum is exceptionally tough and resistant to damage, like any precious metal, it can still acquire scratches and signs of wear over time. These marks are often seen as a patina that many believe adds character to the ring. However, for those who prefer their rings to maintain a flawless finish, Diamond Story offers polishing services. Many of our clients in Melbourne return every few years to have their platinum wedding bands repolished, restoring their original gleaming appearance.

Hypoallergenic Properties of Platinum

For individuals with sensitive skin, platinum is an excellent choice. The platinum used in our jewellery is Platinum 950, which consists of 95% platinum mixed with 5% other alloys, including iridium, palladium, and ruthenium. This high level of purity renders the metal hypoallergenic, eliminating the risk of skin reactions and making it suitable for everyday wear without discomfort. This feature is particularly appreciated in our platinum earrings, which are popular among customers who are prone to allergic reactions with other metals.
