The metals that you’ll commonly find in fine jewelry are platinum, solid gold, and 100% sterling silver. 

The main differences between platinum vs white gold are durability, purity, and cost. Platinum is more durable, better for those with skin sensitivities due to its purity, and more precious than white gold. Therefore, it’s more expensive. In fact, white gold was created as a less expensive alternative to platinum! Overall, platinum is a better choice for those with sensitive skin. White gold is a better choice for those on a limited budget.
