hey guys!
i'm trying to decide between platinum vs. 18k white gold.
i was talking to my friend's parents who were jewellers and they said the bad thing about platinum is that it's too strong and thus can break more easily than 18k white gold. they were referring to the prongs that hold the diamond. they've also said it's a lot harder to resize platinum too.
what doyou guys think about this?
i was initially going to opt for platinum but now when i hear this, i'm a little nervous, especially about the prongs. i like platinum over white gold because it doesn't fade over time.
and i also heard that white gold can cause allergic reactions, which is a total downer.
