And Which One Requires More Maintenance?\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">To guide you with answering these questions, let’s talk about a couple of things you should consider when deciding between white gold and platinum to know which one is perfect for you.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch6 dir=\"ltr\">Table of Content\u003C/h6>\r\n\u003Cul>\r\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca title=\"What Is White Gold?\" href=\"../\">What Is White Gold?\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\r\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca title=\"What Is Platinum?\" href=\"../\">What Is Platinum?\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\r\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca title=\"Is There Any Other Metal Option Available?\" href=\"../\">Is There Any Other Metal Option Available?\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\r\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca title=\"Choosing the Appropriate Metal\" href=\"../\">Choosing the Appropriate Metal\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\r\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca title=\"Price Difference\" href=\"../\">Price Difference\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\r\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca title=\"Durability Comparison: Gold And Platinum\" href=\"../\">Durability Comparison: Gold And Platinum\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\r\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca title=\"Appearance\" href=\"../\">Appearance\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\r\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca title=\"Maintenance \" href=\"../\">Maintenance \u003C/a>\u003C/li>\r\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca title=\"Make the Right Choice\" href=\"../\">Make the Right Choice\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\r\n\u003C/ul>\r\n\u003Ch2>What Is White Gold?\u003C/h2>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">White gold is a gold alloy.

These two metals have very distinctive characteristics and can be compared in a lot of different ways. Let’s compare these two to find out whether platinum is better than gold with the following criteria which include cost, durability, appearance, and maintenance.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://assets.friendlydiamonds.com/fdl/blogs/whitegold_vs_platinum/revamped/image-4.webp\" alt=\"Appropriate Metal\" width=\"1152\" height=\"800\">\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Ca style=\"display: inline-block; font-size: 14px; padding: 8px 18px; color: #000; border: 1px solid #000; text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: 600; width: 100%; text-align: center;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/ring-settings\">design your own engagement ring\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">Price Difference\u003C/h2>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Speaking of cost, considering the value of platinum, you might be wondering if platinum is more expensive than gold? While priced similar to white gold per gram, more platinum is required to design a denser engagement ring. Platinum rings are made with 95% platinum, whereas 14k gold contains only 58.5 percent pure gold. Also, platinum is rarer than gold, adding more to its name. As a result, this leads to platinum rings turning out to be more expensive. So while similarly priced per gram. The only difference is that platinum is much denser than gold; therefore, a larger quantity is required to \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/ring-settings\">design an engagement ring\u003C/a>\u003C/span>.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">Durability Comparison: Gold And Platinum\u003C/h2>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">When it comes to durability, platinum and white gold altogether have different properties. Both of these precious metals are durable. That being said, if you were to ask, which is the most durable of the two? The answer would be platinum! As it all together is a more durable metal than white gold. Platinum, though, compared to 14k and 18k gold, has more wear and tear with time. The good news is that both platinum and \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/ring-settings/white-gold-engagement-rings\">white gold rings\u003C/a>\u003C/span> can be effortlessly polished and restored to their original shine.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://assets.friendlydiamonds.com/fdl/blogs/whitegold_vs_platinum/revamped/image-5.webp\" alt=\"Gold And Platinum\" width=\"1152\" height=\"800\">\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Ca style=\"display: inline-block; font-size: 14px; padding: 8px 18px; color: #000; border: 1px solid #000; text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: 600; width: 100%; text-align: center;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/lab-diamond-rings\">SHOP LAB DIAMOND engagement rings\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">Appearance\u003C/h2>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/ring-settings/platinum-engagement-rings\">\u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">Platinum\u003C/span>\u003C/a> is naturally white and silvery and always remains this color. On the other hand, pure white gold can form a yellowish tint after some time. You shouldn’t fret about this occurrence as it happens after years of polishing and also depends on how long you’ve worn the ring. Both metals give diamond rings an exceptional look, and the same can be said about wedding bands.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">Maintenance\u003C/h2>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">White-gold begins its journey as a yellow, orangey-colored metal and has to be coaxed into whiteness by alloying it with white metals. Upon completion of the ring design, jewelers add a rhodium plating to give it a lustrous ultra white finish. You might have to get rhodium plating re-done every once a year to maintain the ring’s pristine look and shine. With platinum, you don’t have to worry about it losing its shine because the metal is naturally lustrous. You may have to \u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(106, 97, 97);\">\u003Ca style=\"color: rgb(106, 97, 97); text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/blog/how-to-clean-diamond-rings\">clean your ring\u003C/a>\u003C/span> from time to time, but beyond that there is no need to worry.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">Make the Right Choice\u003C/h2>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">So now that you’re well informed about both these metal choices, you can take your pick after weighing in on which one is more favorable to you.
