    Platinum will be a bit more expensive then a 14k gold ring and gold is easier to resize. I’d personally suggest going with gold. Hope this helps. Smiley smile

    Platinum is more expensive but also more resistant to scratches. So it may be worth it if you need a more durable ring.

    I’m getting platinum for my rings mostly because it’s a stronger metal. I personally think it scratches ugly, but to clean up a platinum ring, they just buff it. To clean a white gold ring, normally it has to be rhodium dipped because the white will wear off after a while. I am having it sized now, but my e ring band is very thin so I’m glad it’s platinum so it’s bit more durable.

    Platinum is naturally white, but it's more expensive than white gold. White gold is more affordable. But platinum jewelry and rings are better. Platinum jewelry keeps its sheen over time. I chose solid platinum rings as my wedding rings. I wear it every day and it still remains its color. I think if you choose a piece of everyday wear jewelry, the style is not so important as its material. Gold or solid platinum would be a better choice. And if you want unique wedding rings or engagement rings, you should choose something special or more unique. I bought my wife's proposal ring from DR rings, and our wedding bands on DR. She loves this brand and its meaning. Jewelry is something speaking for yourself, choose something representing your attitude.

    Platinum is more expensive than white gold bc the material is more resistant to scratches. if you get white gold you will have to get it redipped over time bc of the wear of it over time.

    A white gold piece is not pure gold. When white gold is made, yellow gold is mixed together with white metals such as silver, palladium, or nickel. A white gold piece will be rhodium plated to give it a whiter, shinner finish. But over time, this rhodium plating finish will wear down and the jewelry will begin to show its natural yellow color. Platinum piece must contain 95% or more of the metal, but it ages in a different way. It won't turn yellow but it will begin to lose its shiny finish. You can go polishing your platinum piece to make it back to its original condition.

    Platinum is better but more expensive. Platinum is actually the only true hypoallergenic precious jewelry metal that you can buy because it is 95% pure. And it's much more rared and less mined than gold. You will find wedding rings are mostly made of solid platinum cause they can keep sheen over time. My husband and I chose solid platinum rings for our wedding bands. We considered rings to be wearing every day and the brand we chose can only buy once for true love, so we chose simple style with better material for it shall be wearing everyday and forever.

    White gold looks similar to platinum but actually they are two different metals. White gold is gold mixing with silver and other white metals. But platinum is at least 95% pure. I can't say which one is better than the other, because white gold is more affordable while platinum's color remains longer. If you're looking for jewelry that you're going to wear everyday, like wedding rings, I'd recommend platinum, but if you just want some affordable fashion jewelry, you can choose either white gold or platinum regarding of your budget.
