 The rule of thumb when purchasing platinum wedding bands is to
spend approximately two months salary for a quality piece. As with most purchases, people tend to
spend more than they originally intended. To prevent a severe case of the "spending more than you
expected" syndrome, brush up on your knowledge of platinum jewelry, diamonds and the four Cs known as clarity
(flawlessness), cut, color (colorless is usually preferred), and carat (size).
In terms of getting what you pay for, platinum wedding bands surpass all other precious
metals including gold for several reasons:
1. Platinum is 35% more rare than gold. If the worlds supply of platinum was poured in an
Olympic sized pool, the liquid would reach no higher than your ankles. Gold would fill 3 Olympic
sized pools.
2. Platinum wedding bands are made to last forever. Unlike gold, platinum will not wear away
or degrade. Platinum wedding bands are composed of 95% pure where 18k gold wedding bands are only
75% pure. This makes platinum wedding bands significantly more precious and durable.
3. Platinum is hypoallergenic. Many people are sensitive to metals such as gold or silver at
different times in their life. Platinum jewelry is the friendliest metal to sensitive skin.
