 		Hi All,

Is there a color difference between a plat. ring mixed with 5% ruthenium vs iridium?

If I have an e-ring with the iridium and a wedding band of ruthenium mix, will there be a visible color difference or diffent appearance to the two? Will they still look like a platinum match?

How about degree of wear over time?

Thanks for your help

 		Hi bookworm:

There will be absolutely no visible difference between the 2.

 		Although there would be no visable difference, I would be concerned using the 2 different alloys next to each other, the reason being, the VH scale Vickers Hardness, I am not an expert but I would think over time the harder of the alloys depending on what mix you are using, 950 or 900 would rub/scratch the other ring that has the softer VH. Here is a website that has the VH scale. http://www.platinum-wedding- rings.com/platinum_alloy_information.html

I hope this has helped. >
