I am having a custom three-stone ring made by a local jeweler and need to make a decision on the metal in the next few days. It is a round expert selection stone from whiteflash with side trapezoid diamonds. Not an overly complicated design, but some metalwork.
I am really torn right now between platinum and palladium and am looking for some opinions. I like the heft of platinum, but I like (from what I have read) that palladium shows less scratching. Overall, I just want a ring that is going to stand the test of time and one that I do not need to worry a ton about. Is one stronger?...will one hold the diamonds more securely?...Is platinum really better or just more well known? If it was your ring what would you do?
I am planning on having a plain metal band for my wedding band and I think it makes most sense to have both the e-ring and wedding band in the same metal.
Any help or knowledge is appreciated.
Thanks for reading!
