Platinum can only be found in a few locations around the world and most platinum comes from South Africa, Canada and Columbia.  Whereas gold tends to scratch easily, platinum is much heavier and more durable.  Platinum jewellery is heavier than gold jewellery simply because the amount of precious metal in the piece of jewellery is significantly higher than you would find in a piece of gold jewellery.  When you combine all of this with the rarity of platinum it makes it more expensive than gold but also means that it will hold its value.

Platinum has become extremely popular with men who are looking to purchase a wedding band that has more exclusivity and style.  Platinum is well suited for more modern designs but also lends itself well to classic styles like Celtic knotwork.  Platinum wedding rings come in a huge array of styles and finishes and this can make it a difficult task to find the perfect wedding ring that symbolises your lifetime love and commitment to your partner.

When selecting your platinum wedding rings, it is very important to be aware of the purity of your ring.  Platinum wedding bands are alloyed with other metals so the right hardness can be achieved.  Most jewellers will recommend you don’t choose less than 90% pure platinum as otherwise the colour of your ring may change and also make it less durable.  Your choice will also come down to your personal taste and platinum wedding bands are also a perfect compliment to the sparkle and shine of diamonds if you wish to have these precious stones set into your ring.  For men, the rugged style and tough design are perfect.
