Princess Cut Platinum Engagement Rings

All other things being equal, yes, a platinum setting will be more expensive than a gold setting for your princess cut engagement ring. However, in exchange for a bit more money, you receive greater durability, a pure white metal that does not require upkeep, and super high end purity.

1. One of the reasons platinum is chosen by the stars is because it stands the test of time – multiple generations even – when it comes to daily wear. Platinum is very dense, so it holds up to wear and tear better than gold. Adding platinum v-tips to your princess cut engagement ring is another way to protect your unique stone from getting damaged during daily wear!
2. Platinum’s density also means it is super heavy and significant feeling! Many couples love this aspect of platinum because it gives both physical and metaphorical weight to a relationship. You will always know when you are wearing your platinum engagement ring!
3. Platinum is naturally white, so, unlike white gold (which must be rhodium plated to keep its white appearance) there is no maintenance to keep up a princess cut platinum ring! Instead, platinum develops a beautiful vintage patina as it ages. For lovers of a vintage look, this is a bonus! Your patina shows the life of your marriage.
