Platinum Wedding Bands

Platinum is naturally white to its core, hypoallergenic, and essentially permanent — it loses virtually no metal over decades of wear, unlike gold which slowly thins. For a ring meant to be worn every hour for life, that permanence is the argument.

Platinum costs more because it's rarer, denser, and used at roughly 95% purity — but it never needs the rhodium re-plating white gold does, and it outlasts gold structurally. Over a lifetime the gap narrows; it's paying up front for zero maintenance.

It scratches like any precious metal, but the metal moves aside rather than wearing away, developing a soft satin patina many wearers love. If you prefer mirror-bright, a quick professional polish restores it completely — no metal is lost either way.

Yes — platinum's high purity means there's virtually nothing in the alloy to react with skin, making it the standard recommendation for metal sensitivities. It's the reason platinum is also used in medical implants.

Platinum bands generally start around double a comparable 14k gold band — commonly from the upper hundreds for slim women's bands into the low-to-mid four figures for wide men's profiles. Density is the driver: the same design simply contains more precious metal.

Readily — platinum works beautifully at the bench, and we resize Aurelle platinum bands free for life. It's a meaningful advantage over alternative metals like tungsten, which cannot be resized at all.

They look nearly identical new; the differences emerge over years. Platinum stays white forever and keeps its weight but costs more; white gold costs less and weighs less but wants periodic rhodium refreshing. Choose platinum for permanence, white gold for value.
