Question for the experts on here,

my E-ring is 14K unplated white gold and I just found an antique band from the 20's that I love, but its in platinum. I loved how the 2 look together. I know I've read things online before that the metals can wear on each other differently, but don't remember the specifics of it now, and can't seem to find that information again.
Is it safe to wear the 2 next to each other? Or should I get a spacer band to protect them from each other, and if so should the spacer be 14k or plat?

Thanks!
 
It'll be fine.
 
I think you'll be fine too. Metal-on-metal will eventually wear, and mixing metals will likely speed the process, but "speed" is a relative term - I think you'd be fine for many years! Though engraving/milgrain on the sides might wear away sooner.
