Platinum Wedding Bands: Pros, Cons & White Gold Alternatives
by Aumsri Pradhan on Sep 29, 2026
Short answer: Platinum is a naturally white, dense and very durable metal, usually 90–95% pure in jewelry. It never needs plating, rarely causes skin reactions, and develops a soft patina over time. It is heavier and usually more expensive than gold for the same design. Ivevar does not currently offer platinum; our closest alternatives are 14K and 18K white gold bands.
Platinum vs White Gold
| Feature | Platinum | White gold |
|---|---|---|
| Color | Naturally white | Rhodium plated for bright white |
| Weight | Heavier | Lighter |
| Upkeep | Occasional polishing | Replating from time to time |
| Price | Usually higher | Usually lower |
Is Platinum Worth It?
Choose platinum if you want a naturally white metal that lasts for generations and you like a heavier feel. Choose white gold if you want the same look for less, and do not mind occasional replating. At Ivevar, our chevron moissanite band is $1,220 in 14K and $1,491 in 18K white gold, at the time of writing.
