Very interesting and easy to understand the differences between platinum and white gold.

I must confess to misunderstanding the fact that platinum was "harder". I had a lovely, hefty platinum ring hand made for my husband and, honestly, I was so disappointed that it was constantly scratched and in need of repolishing. Now I know why. A moot point though because he managed to lose it last month - contained a .80 carat D IF princess diamond too. Someone in a hotel in Amsterdam did very nicely! And, nope, the insurance didn't cover it overseas!
