I disagree... I''ve heard over and over and over that platinum is harder than gold. It is just in the last couple weeks that it seems to be swinging the other way.Date: 9/27/2006 2:07:50 PM

You know I may be off base but but sounds like the setting did its job.
It took a hit held the stone and protected it.
The diamond wasnt broken and didnt go flying accross the room/street/car so thats a win in my book.
i agree completely. I don''t think plat. is marketed as the stronger more durable metal. any small amount of research shows that''s it''s softer and more dense. also, it''s more likely to bend rather than break which is why many jewelers prefer plat. prongs at least. if the head gets hit a wg prong has a better chance of breaking where plat. will bend possible saving the stone.
