Currently gold is trading higher than platinum, so from an intrinsic value gold is more expensive. Why are platinum rings more expensive? Platinum is approx 1.8 times as dense, therefore you are paying more than a gold ring of equal thickness and width.
Platinum is softer than gold, so it will scuff and show signs of wear quicker. These really isn't a big deal because both can be repolished and buffed to look brand new.
Platinum is hypoallergenic. Some people are allergic to the alloy mixed with gold. This could range from silver, copper, and nickel to name a few. Your finger wont turn green but it will get itchy red and likely cause a rash.
White gold will tarnish over time and turn a buttery yellow color. The ring can be redipped to look new and white again however platinum will always look the same.
These are the most important comparisons between the metals. Dont hesitate to contact us with any further questions or concerns; support@pompeii3.com
