Still working on my dream ring research and need opinions on whether platinum is the better choice over white gold and why? Had a jeweler tell me that platinum is just a trend and is not worth the extra cost. He said labor on platinum will always be higher. I am not crazy about the patina platinum gets, in silver it would be called tarnish! However, I think I read on a thread that white gold could eventually cast a yellow sheen. Need some expert opinions!
