Platinum, diamonds and the concept of eternity, all relate in meaning with a sense of permanence. Both Platinum and diamonds offer an enduring combination provided a certain level of care is given to jewellery. For example, regular cleaning helps diamonds to keep their sparkle.
Many of our clients choose a Platinum eternity ring for several good reasons:
Platinum eternity rings are never plated, unlike white gold jewellery. To explain, gold content within white gold results in an off-white colouration. As part of the finishing process, jewellers “dip” white gold in Rhodium to apply a very white plating.
In contrast, Platinum is naturally white. Furthermore, Platinum refurbishes as new. As a result, it restores back to a mirror polish when re-finished.
Platinum makes a great choice for diamond settings. Less malleable than gold, a Platinum eternity ring offers a rigid setting for diamonds. After all, why did world-renowned jeweller Tiffany & Co. choose this metal for their iconic engagement ring?
The strength of Platinum makes a perfect choice for thin eternity rings. Over the last 12 months, demand for thin eternity rings has doubled. Many of our slim eternity rings benefit from the additional strength provided by Platinum.
There’s a certain bragging factor associated with Platinum. A Platinum diamond ring offers luxury and prestige when it comes to jewellery buying.
The density and additional weight of Platinum gives this metal a heavy, substantial feel. Compared to other metals, Platinum feels luxurious.
With a 95% pure precious metal choice, Platinum is a great choice for anyone with allergies. Other metal alloys can cause reactions. Platinum is hypoallergenic. We would stress that anyone with a skin allergy should keep their rings as clean as possible. Both dirt and bacteria trapped between the finger and stone settings can cause reactions. For this reason, remove rings before washing. Also, keep settings very clean. Finally, ensure rings are dried before wearing them.
Recently, the price of gold has risen and spiked on several occasions. The gold price is at the mercy of bullish investors and liable to soar. As a result, 18-carat gold can be more expensive than Platinum. Many of our current buyers choose Platinum owing to the inflated high cost of gold in today’s financial climate of uncertainty. Platinum is less susceptible to change as investors look for a safe haven in gold.

VVS diamonds feature minuscule inclusions. As a result, the VVS clarity grade stands for “very very slightly included.”
Diamonds achieve one of several clarity grades assigned by a professional gemmologist. Clarity grades range from Flawless (absence of any internal or external flaws) to I3 as the lowest grade.
The VVS clarity grade divides into two grades: VVS1 and VVS2. To an untrained eye, both of these grades appear identical, but VVS1 ranks higher than VVS2.
Both grades represent some of the highest clarity diamonds available. Moreover, VVS1 stands one clarity grade lower than Internally Flawless.

Some buyers question the price difference between VVS diamonds and lower clarity grades. For example, how good is good enough? Other questions arise. How high does the grade need to be in order to own an eye-clean diamond?

While VVS diamonds offer exceptional clarity, the lower price of a VS diamond has its merits. Firstly, in terms of price. VS diamonds offer exceptional clarity hard to distinguish from a VVS clarity diamond. Furthermore, VS diamonds are less expensive. For this reason, we steer clients towards VS diamonds. After all, why pay more than you need to?
