Platinum wedding rings – what should you know?
Platinum wedding rings are a luxurious and long-lasting choice for couples seeking exclusivity on their special day. Wedding rings symbolize the bond between two people and are often worn together as a sign of love and commitment. Platinum, as a precious metal, possesses unique properties that provide the rings not only with aesthetic beauty but also practical benefits.
What is platinum?
Platinum is a white cold metal characterized by high density and corrosion resistance. Due to its purity and hypoallergenic properties, it is an ideal material for jewelry, especially wedding rings. Platinum retains its color and brilliance for many years, so your wedding ring will look like new even after many years. Platinum is naturally white, but other white metals, such as white gold, are also popular choices for wedding rings due to their aesthetics.
Advantages of platinum for wedding rings
Durability: Platinum is extremely durable and resistant to wear, so your wedding ring will remain unchanged throughout your life.
Natural white color: Unlike natural white gold, platinum is naturally white, so it does not require additional rhodium plating to maintain its color.
Hypoallergenic properties: Due to its purity, platinum is hypoallergenic, making it suitable for people with sensitive skin or prone to allergies.
Weight: Platinum is heavier than other precious metals, giving the ring a more solid and luxurious feel.
Rarity and value: Platinum is a rarer metal than gold, so platinum wedding rings are considered a symbol of luxury. Due to the more complex processing and higher melting point, the production of platinum rings requires special equipment and more time.
Wide selection of design, shape, width, and colors: You can choose a ring according to your individual needs – from classic to modern design, selecting the desired combination of width, shape, and colors.
Why are platinum rings more expensive?
Platinum, as a metal, costs less than gold on the precious metals exchange. However, if you want a platinum wedding ring, you will pay more because the production process requires special equipment and more time. The production of wedding rings often takes up to 15 business days, depending on the chosen design, width, size, and individual preferences.
In Lithuania, manufacturing a high-quality platinum wedding ring is difficult as it requires high-quality raw material, special tools, high temperatures, and experience. Therefore, we recommend choosing only German-made wedding rings, produced according to the highest standards necessary for platinum wedding rings.
During the production process, you can order rings according to your wishes, and they can be picked up at the jewelry salon or delivered via bus services throughout Lithuania.
