I have a platinum engagement ring and was wondering if a white gold wedding ring would be all right?
It's just the price of platinum is outrageous. I won't be having them put together permanently, just will wear the wedding ring to work and then wear them together other times. Do you think anyone will be able to tell?
Yes, it is perfectly alright to mix platinum and white gold rings, noone will ever tell the differance - here is why:
Both platinum and white gold are plated with a metal called rhodium. White gold jewelry is nearly always plated with rhodium because the metal gold is really yellow in color and when they melt it and alloy it (that is mix other metals into it) to 'whiten' gold it still has a faintly yellowish tint. Rhodium gives white gold that color that is pure silvery white like chrome. Platinum, which is already white, needs to be plated with rhodium because platinum has a dull luster and not give us that shiny mirror polish like silver or gold.
So whether a ring is white gold or platinum - you are really looking at RHODIUM (which, by the way is much more expensive than either gold -about $1000 an ounce, or platinum - about $2000 an ounce - currently rhodium is so rare and precious it goes for $7000 an ounce!)
Don't be swayed by arguments that because platinum is harder and stronger than gold, that by wearing the two together the platinum ring will "wear down" the gold one. Platinum is harder than gold, of course, but the differance is not that great ... one will eventually wear the other one but I think it will take 40 or 50 years for that to happen. Besides, you said you will not be wearing the two tegether that often.
Your rhodium plated rings will have to be replated every several years, not to worry, most jewelers do it - it is fast and not very expensive.
I am a gemologist and have been in the jewelry business 30 years this year. Your question is a very good and intelligent one! Good Luck!!
