Platinum

Naturally white, heavier, hypoallergenic, and it wears into a soft patina.

What it is

Platinum 950

95% pure platinum, naturally white.

Comfort fit

The inside of the band is domed, so only the middle touches the finger.

Why people love it

Platinum 950

  • Naturally white; no plating to renew.
  • Hypoallergenic.
  • Prongs hold stones very securely; the metal moves rather than wearing away.

Comfort fit

  • Slides over the knuckle more easily and feels lighter on the finger.
  • The most popular choice for bands worn every day.

Trade-offs

Platinum 950

  • Heavier on the finger.
  • Develops a soft patina with wear (it can be polished back).

Comfort fit

  • A touch more metal than a flat band of the same size.
