Asscher cut engagement rings in platinum featuring VRAI Created Diamonds

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 with a more limited budget.

Platinum is popular for both men’s engagement and men’s wedding rings. Our favorite engagement ring styles include the platinum Round Inlay Band, the Brushed Baguette Band, and the Pavé Border Band. Each feature one or more VRAI created diamonds set within a traditional band for a look that’s perfect for a proposal.

Platinum is an excellent choice for modern engagement rings. It’s durable, meaning your engagement ring will last for a lifetime. It’s considered more precious and purer than gold, meaning it’s ideal for those with skin sensitivities. And it’s known the world over for its incredible shine — making it the ideal companion to a scintillating VRAI created diamond.

It’s best to clean a platinum engagement ring once a week. Mix 1 teaspoon of dishwashing soap in 1 cup of warm water. To clean your ring, soak it in the solution for a few minutes and then rinse and pat dry with a soft towel. VRAI offers complimentary annual cleaning in its Lifetime Care Package for all platinum engagement and wedding rings to keep it shining bright for a lifetime.
