What does everyone prefer?? Platinum, white gold, or yellow gold? I personally love platinum...always have, always will! I was just curious as to other''s opinions on this and WHY you choose the metal you do!!
I chose Platinum and will probably always choose it. Partly because Im not fond of yellow gold, and partly because I really really dislike white gold from personal not so good experiences, I don''t feel they make it like they used to and it seems like every piece I owned that was WG was just cheapo.
I have a few different platinum pieces now and Im sure will have more over time. My wedding band is a diamond and platinum eternity band, my e-ring is a platinum solitaire and my promise ring is a platinum wedding band with stones set into it.
Here is a collage with my e-ring and wedding band and promise ring.
I chose platinum because I love the white metals and white gold will yellow slightly over time and I have had to get some of my white gold rings rhodium plated after years of yellowing. Platinum is a pure white metal and is really heavy so that is what draws me to it, plus I have never owned platinum before my e-ring so it is special
I like the looks of diamonds in both yellow and white metals but personally, I like platinum for erings/wedding bands because I love the patina it gets over time. I also like the weight of it...an ering/band should feel heavy--it is momentous!
i think the color of metals it's just a trend thing,when i got marry back in the mid 80's,white head on YG band was teh hot item.now it's all white metals ,soon the trend will shift back to all YG.
