Four Points for Platinum


  • Platinum offers a diamond greater protection.
  • Its density and weight make it more durable than all other jewellery metals.
  • While all metals scratch, platinum loses very little metal to everyday wear.
  • Its natural white colour will never change.

Virtually every famous gemstone, from the 'Star of Africa' to the 'Hope Diamond', is set in platinum. Not merely because of its distinction as a setting, but because platinum represents the best protection for gemstones.

Anatomy of the Engagement Ring


The Stone will account for 75-90% of the overall cost of the ring.

The Setting holds the centre stone. A strong precious metal is imperative in securing your investment.

The Band will endure the most wear over time since it's in constant contact with the fingers and everything that the hand touches.

The Hallmark indicates the type and purity of the metal. All platinum rings must have this.
