After being married a year, I initially opted to go with a non-platinum band for my wife's engagement ring and our wedding bands. We were very disappointed and frustrated with the inconvenience of having to re-plated our rings in such a short time. We recently decided to replace our bands with platinum as we realized it is worth the quality. I personally like the feel and look of the band better. The additional weight feels more secure and the matte luster is a nice subtle finish. One other thing I noticed is how with most metals, when scratched, you actually lose material, but with platinum you will only scratch the surface (which can be polish back to new). http://www.engagementguide.com is a great source for information, comparison between metals, settings, and diamonds. We are extremely happy with our new platinum rings! Great post – I can really relate to the decision between platinum and other metals.
