The alloy combination added determines the color of gold. Therefore, white gold always has a yellowish tint. Not so with platinum. Platinum is rare. It is one of the most precious metals on earth.
Platinum is strong and durable.
Platinum is a very dense metal, heavier than gold, silver and even lead. It s strength and density prevent wear and tear to jewelry. A common misunderstanding is that platinum is virtually indestructible. What platinum won t do is wear away like gold does. Due to the intense atom bonding, platinum does not rub away as gold does with daily wear.
