Why Platinum makes a great choice...

Purity
Platinum is pure, because it is generally 95% pure (18 karat gold is 75% pure), platinum jewelry does not fade or tarnish and keeps its looks for a lifetime. Platinum is ideal for the individual that would like to wear jewelry everyday because it shows little wear.

It is also hypoallergenic and ideal for those with sensitive skin.

Rare
Platinum is found only a few places in the world, including Africa, Russia and the USA. Only 65 tons of platinum compared to 3,300 tons of gold are used for jewelry in the world each year.

This exquisite metal is 35 times rarer than gold.

Security and Strength
Platinum's high level of density has contributed to its remarkably high level of durability, and its overall strength and longevity.
A piece of jewelry containing 90 percent pure platinum weighs 60 percent more than a 14-karat gold piece of similar size.

Platinum and Diamonds
There is nothing that sets off a diamond or any other gemstone like Platinum.
It has a tremendous ability to hold stones in place with little risk of movement or looseness.

Versatile
Platinum has another remarkable characteristic: pliability. Platinum is so pliable, that just one gram of the metal can be drawn to produce a fine wire over one mile long. Platinum is the only metal suitable for the heart electrode in pacemakers.

Difference between Platinum and White Gold.
Platinum is naturally white metal whereas white gold is artificially colored by adding other metals to yellow gold.
