Designer Platinum Engagement Ring

When only the best will do, a designer platinum engagement ring is a great option to consider. Not only is it unique and handcrafted, but the platinum will wear well enough to be passed on throughout the generations of your family as a beautiful heirloom.

Classic Designer Platinum Diamond Solitaire

Platinum is a beautiful, naturally white metal that is between 90 and 95 percent pure. This purity makes it completely hypoallergenic, perfect for those with sensitive skin. It is also 35 times rarer than gold: there are only two major sources for platinum in the world. Platinum is refined so much that it takes ten tons of ore to produce one ounce of platinum.

Platinum is very dense and will last forever. It does not wear thin over time. Because of the rarity and durability of platinum, it is the perfect symbol of enduring love.

Verragio creates intricate, one of a kind engagement rings from platinum, palladium, white, or yellow gold. They do not sell directly to the public but through selected jewelers nationwide. They have several collections available.

• The Insignia Collection is modern and trendy. The rings hold between 0.45 and 0.75 total carat weight of diamonds before the center stone is added.
• The Paradiso Collection has a special design of scrolls inside the ring to make it even more comfortable. The scrolls allow the ring to fit to the contours of the wearer's finger without being too tight or spinning.
• The Classico Collection features classically styled rings with a special Lumino setting developed by Verragio. The setting allows all of the diamond's surfaces to be exposed to the light making it more fiery and sparkly than ever. This setting captures up to 75 percent more light than traditional settings.

All Verragio rings have the name stamped on the inside of the ring so you can be sure that yours is authentic.

Novori carries two designs in its designer platinum engagement ring section.

• Tulip is an amazing ring style with a head created by six pave diamond encrusted petals. Not only are there diamonds around the center stone and on the ring band, but the center stone is held in place by these diamond filled petals which mimic a tulip. There are eighteen very unusual settings in this collection. Two rows of micro-pave diamonds encircle the center stone.
• Sareen is a gracefully curved collection that includes micro-pave diamonds around the center stone as well as an optional bezel set diamond beneath the main center stone. There are fifteen settings in this collection.

Colored gems stand out in platinum.

There are many other designer platinum engagement rings available for the couple that wants the durability and beauty that this metal provides.

• Bergio creates designer rings with European flair.
• Solomon Brothers Fine Jewelry carries platinum engagement rings by a number of designers.

If you are looking at a designer platinum engagement ring remember that there are many varieties of precious stones that you can have set in it to make it your own. Diamonds are traditional but more and more couples are opting for fancy colored diamonds as well as other colored stones. The glowing luminescence of platinum will pair well with almost any color and cut of gem.

Be prepared, however. Platinum is the most expensive choice for an engagement ring. It is also heavier than other metals and can feel heavy on the finger. Some people feel that it is not worth the expense since it can be mistaken for silver or white gold.

Louis XV stated that platinum was the only metal fit for a king. If you agree, then a beautiful designer platinum ring may be exactly what you are looking for.
