You can usually feel platinum before you even know it’s platinum! 💍
I had this platinum wedding set in for appraisals recently, and platinum has a few things that make it pretty unique:
• It’s heavier than it looks — pick up a platinum ring and you’ll notice!
• It’s naturally white, so that color isn’t a coating or plating. That’s the color it is when it comes out of the ground!
• It actually changes as you wear it, developing a soft gray finish called a patina.
• And unlike many metals, when platinum gets scratched, the metal tends to move rather than wear away. So, it’s very malleable.
So those little scratches and that softer finish? That’s not necessarily a bad thing — that’s just how platinum wears over time.
