Platinum Men's Wedding Bands

The rare metal pops against With Clarity’s lab made diamonds. Lab diamonds provide you with a “real” diamond that shares the same chemical composition, optical properties and physical features as natural diamonds. The only difference between them is that one is mined from the earth and the other is made in a laboratory. When creating a lab grown diamond, the manufacturing process replicates conditions that create a natural diamond creation - extreme temperatures and pressures that turn carbon into a diamond. Lab created diamonds are ethically sourced, environmentally friendly, and affordable.

FAQs

Are platinum men's wedding bands more expensive than other materials?

Platinum is rare, dense, and pure, so it’s generally more expensive than other metal options. It typically costs about $500 to 800 more because rings use more pure platinum to create the rings. Platinum is 30 times more rare, precious and heavier than gold.

Do platinum wedding bands require special care and maintenance?

Platinum requires little maintenance and remains the same even if you wear it on a daily basis. It also doesn't change hue or color over time. The only care you’ll need to provide is using a soft cloth to wipe your jewelry clean. You can deep clean it periodically by soaking your jewelry in a bowl of warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap. You should use a soft toothbrush to scrub away dirt and grime.

What is the typical weight or thickness of platinum wedding bands?

Platinum weighs more than other metals and will feel heavier on the finger. The density of platinum is 21.45 grams per cubic centimeter. A six-inch cube of platinum weighs 165 pounds. Thickness of platinum wedding bands varies–some are wider than others depending on the ring’s style.

Are there any hypoallergenic benefits to choosing platinum for men's wedding rings?

Yes, platinum is an excellent choice for those with skin sensitivities because it’s hypoallergenic. Some people have silver or nickel allergies, which affects their skin if metal has nickel in the alloy. People are less likely to have allergic reactions or skin sensitivities to platinum because it does not have any nickel.

What is the hallmark for platinum in men's wedding rings, and how can I verify its authenticity?

Authentic platinum has marks or stamps. Look for any markings or stamps that identify the metal's purity or authenticity. Example markings include: platinum, Plat, Pt, Pt950, 950Pt, 950Plat and Plat950. The purity marking of 95% means it’s 950 parts per 1000 of platinum and 50 parts other metals. Another popular platinum alloy is 90% Platinum, which is 900 parts per 1000 and 100 parts other metals. Example markings are: 900Pt, Pt900, and 900Plat.
