Platinum is the metal of choice at MySolitaire for engagement rings, wedding bands and anniversary bands. Platinum’s luster brings out the brilliance of our diamonds better than gold. The Platinum used as MySolitaire is at least 95% pure.

Platinum used in jewelry is usually of 95% purity compared to Gold which is of 75% purity (18K Gold). Platinum Jewelry keeps its luster for and is less likely to have the polish fade or the metal tarnish. The purity of the metal also makes it ideal for sensitive skins and naturally hypoallergenic.

Platinum is stronger and rarer of than 18K Gold. It is more expensive but requires less maintenance. The density of platinum makes it more durable than other metals used in jewelry.  Like most metals, platinum will scratch (though not easily). However, the scratch on a platinum jewelry is merely a displacement of the metal and none of its volume is lost. So, even though wearing it each and every day may leave an impression on the surface, the overall piece will not lose value because of metal loss. This is why MySolitaire uses platinum prongs in all the custom designed engagement rings and most of our pre-set engagement rings.

Platinum jewelry is the perfect choice for a lifetime of everyday wear.
