Gold Rings Vs Platinum Rings

Both metals have their own merits and demerits. Gold is famous since the ancient world and still occupy the top place among the group of precious metals over centuries. Purity of Gold is measured in karats and gold is available in different karats; 10, 14, 18 and 24. But the platinum doesn’t have such classifications.

Gold has other advantage of color. You can get gold ornaments in variety of colors as per your preference. You may get it in yellow color, white color, gold color, green color or pink color. Platinum has the restriction in its color and available only in white color. But this is not an issue since many men are like to wear the ring in white color rather than in yellow color.



If you are keen in durable and long life for the worth of the more money you spend, better go for platinum. The white color of this material is very lucrative and best fit for the men’s marriage bands especially rings. This costly metal gives the grand look to the men. Since it belongs to clean metal family, the ring made up of platinum will be in the high cost bandwidth.

Gold is also durable, but when compared with platinum, gold is less strong and less robust than platinum. Because of the high density, platinum is double the weight than the gold. If the ring is made out of a metal such as tungsten or titanium, it will be scratch proof. But if you wear the ring with platinum or gold, chances are bright to get scratches, so you have to be used occasionally.

Gold or silver is not 100% suitable to all the people. Some people may have the sensitive skin and if they wear gold ring, it may be allergic and create some white patches in the skin or some time itching or irritation sensation will be developed. But platinum is non allergic and surround your finger pretty and won’t create any skin related issues because of this platinum ring.

Because of the rarest nature, purity, elasticity and strength, platinum is categorized as precious metal. Huge difference exists in cost between the platinum ring and gold ring. If you can’t afford the bulky fee for platinum ring but wish to buy the ring with white color, you may opt to purchase white gold. After a certain period of regular use, the white color of the gold ring will be fading out and then take it to the jewelry shop; they will polish the ring and restore the actual sparkly state to the gold ring.



You have to take the final call to buy which ring. Some men like to wear the slim and light weight rings, some are quite opposite. Depending upon the complexion, skin color and personality, you may choose either the ring gold or platinum which is more suitable and add your personality. Surely the rings are smart and striking when occupies the fingers irrespective of whether it is made up of gold or platinum.
