Diamond Engagement Rings Specialist

Well, you have it there – platinum is the metal of choice for diamond rings in Hollywood. Most of tinsel town’s celebrities are opting for platinum diamond rings for both wedding rings and engagement rings. From Penelope Cruz to Megan Fox to Nicole Ritchie, it’s been platinum and diamonds all the way.

Why platinum? It could be because the white metal goes with every outfit you wear – gold doesn’t. It could also be because platinum tends to show off the stone better and makes it seem more dazzling. Many of them are also wearing eternity diamond and platinum bands.

The thing is, the diamond can be any cut or shape or design – platinum and diamonds are still a hot favourite. So you’ll find pear-shaped ones, the more popular round ones, square-cut ones, pave designs – and they all shine and dazzle in platinum.

Time was when men started looking around for something stylish when it came to wedding rings, not to mention something different. So platinum and then tungsten became popular. But there’s another metal doing the rounds today and getting very popular and that is cobalt chrome.

The thing about cobalt chrome is that it looks like platinum but it is so tough that it is scratch-proof. This is great when the man wants a wedding ring that matches his wife’s and yet, would like something that is tougher than white gold or platinum. It looks elegant and sleek and suddenly, it opens out a new fashionable range in men’s wedding rings.

The thing about cobalt chrome is that it looks so much like platinum and white gold that it can easily pass off as one of them and this makes the matter of matching wedding rings so much easier. The woman gets what she wants – white gold or platinum – and the man gets his tough metal which also matches. What perhaps is most comforting is the fact that it is more reasonably priced. It is as hard as a metal like titanium and it is also hypoallergenic – so what more could one ask for? Especially as this metal has been used for implants inside the body – so it needs to be compatible and non-reactive inside.
