Although gold might be the traditional choice for diamond ring settings and bands, platinum is also extremely popular, because it looks modern, it’s very shiny, and highly scratch-resistant.

Platinum actually scratches quite easily, its heavier and purer than 18ct white gold but not tougher, I know because I deal with both on a daily basis as a goldsmith/stone setter. Platinum is tough though, try polishing it and you’ll know what I mean ;O
