Why is platinum particularly hot for celebrity engagement rings?
Celebrities, like 81 percent of all couples, look to celebrate their unions and commitments in platinum. Platinum is universally known to be “the best” when it comes to jewelry, but there are several reasons why platinum is the “best” choice when it comes to engagement rings and wedding bands specifically. Platinum is one of the most durable metals and extremely resistant to corrosion or wear. That means that a platinum piece of jewelry that will be worn daily, like an engagement ring or wedding band, will not wear down as quickly as other metals. This means that patterns and engravings will last longer and because of that durability, diamonds will be held securely. Let’s face it, with the size and value of some of the engagement rings these days that extra assurance of holding those diamonds gives a celebrity a good deal of peace of mind.
