During the first 40 years of this century, platinum was the preferred metal for wedding and engagement rings and was almost always used to enhance the beauty of diamonds and other gemstones. The neutral colour enhances the natural clarity and sparkle of gemstones, where other metals can detract from the stones' beauty. Then just prior to World War II, platinum was declared a strategic material and its use in most non-military applications, including jewellery, was prohibited. During this time, white gold was developed as a replacement. Once embargoed, Platinum is now regaining its old popularity.
