Platinum Wedding Bands

FAQs About Platinum Wedding Bands for Women

How much are platinum wedding bands?

Like most precious metals, the price of platinum wedding bands depends on purity and additional features like personalization or gemstones. Due to the premium quality of the metal, platinum wedding bands for women tend to have a higher price tag than those made from gold or, more similar in appearance, white gold.

However, most buyers find that the investment in a platinum wedding band is well worth it, given the durability of the metal.

What platinum is best for wedding bands?

Unlike other precious metals, platinum purity is denoted by percentages rather than karat. The best platinum for wedding bands is PL950 or 95% pure platinum, ensuring a high quality wedding ring that is durable enough for gemstone settings and everyday wear. All of AURONIA’s platinum wedding bands are PL950 (or 95% pure platinum), ready for your special day, and every future day to come.

Is platinum a good choice for wedding rings?

Yes, platinum is a good choice for wedding rings, especially when you seek out platinum with a purity of PL950 or 95%. Compared to other precious metals, platinum is more durable and scratch-resistant than silver, white, rose, or yellow gold. High quality platinum can also achieve a dazzling mirror finish, which helps your wedding ring shine extra bright, especially when paired with beautiful gemstones. Additionally, platinum wedding bands make for a great value investment; their toughness and pale gray color stand up to day-to-day wear and pair seamlessly with any style.

Which is better for wedding rings, platinum or palladium?

Both platinum and palladium are smart and beautiful choices for wedding rings, each metal with its unique characteristics. Both are strong metals with high purity levels, perfect for keeping your prized gemstones secure and up to the challenge of day-to-day life. Palladium is slightly stronger, a lighter gray color and more lightweight than platinum. However, at AURONIA, our focus is on platinum wedding bands for women due to their unmatched durability, fade resistance, and greater weight for a more luxurious feel and timeless stylistic appeal.

Is a platinum ring better than a gold ring?

The choice between a platinum and gold ring depends on personal preferences and priorities. Platinum wedding bands are known for their shiny, grey-white appearance, skin-friendly qualities, and luxurious weighty feel. On the other hand, yellow gold is less expensive than platinum and is a traditional choice for wedding bands, though more susceptible to daily wear and tear.

If you like the look of a platinum wedding ring, white gold is a great alternative with a similar appearance at a lower price point. AURONIA offers platinum wedding rings with a purity of 95%, as well as 14k and 18k yellow and white gold to cater to whatever metal your heart desires.

Is platinum worth more than gold?

Platinum wedding rings are generally worth more than 14k or 18k gold because they’re heavier and made with a higher metal purity. This is why platinum tends to be more expensive than gold. However, multiple factors influence the worth of a ring like the design and addition of gemstones.

However, as many say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the choice you make will always be the best one for you. At AURONIA, our expert artisans deliver the highest quality, ensuring whatever your chosen metal is, it’ll meet your standards without compromise.

Can I wear a platinum ring every day?

Platinum wedding rings are designed to be worn every day. Since platinum wedding bands tend to have a higher purity than other metals, they’re an allergy-friendly option, great for people with sensitive skin. And because of the durability of platinum, wedding bands made from this metal can withstand daily living and all the bumps and scratches along the way.

If you’re planning on wearing your platinum wedding band every day, considering the width of your ring is important as well. AURONIA rings range in widths from 1.5 to 3 mm, and cater to various preferences, with a sweet spot at 2 mm for a thin and dainty look. Petite bands between 1-1.5 mm provide a delicate touch with a barely-there feel.
