Platinum wedding rings

Platinum

— platinum is extremely expensive — it is many times more expensive than gold. This is due both to the rarity and complexity in production, and to the specific properties of this material. So, the features of platinum allow it to be used in its pure form (unlike jewelry gold and silver, which are alloys). This metal is extremely hard, refractory, durable, highly resistant to scratches and retains its luster for a long time. Platinum does not look very bright, but its noble grayish colour is perfect for framing precious stones, especially diamonds.

The price of platinum jewelry corresponds to the price of the metal itself — only very wealthy families can afford even one such ring. Because of this, such products are rarely produced as paired rings for spouses. Much more often, a platinum ring is an engagement ring. A man traditionally gives such a ring as a gift to his chosen one, making an offer, and she, having agreed, wears an ornament as a symbol of fidelity to the groom. In wealthy circles in the West, there is a rule that an engagement ring should be quite expensive — at least at the level of three months' earnings of the groom; a similar tradition is gradually coming to us. And it is a platinum ring that can be a piece of jewelry that perfectly matches this rule.
