  • Does not wear away over time
  • 30 times rarer than gold
How does platinum compare to white gold?

Platinum vs. White Gold Chains

While both appear silvery-white, platinum and white gold differ significantly. Platinum is naturally white and maintains its color, while white gold requires rhodium plating that wears off over time. Platinum is denser, more durable, and more expensive.

  • Platinum: Natural white, no replating needed
  • White Gold: Requires periodic rhodium replating
  • Platinum: Denser, heavier feel
  • White Gold: More affordable option
  • Platinum: Better for allergies

  • Cable Chain: Classic, strong, perfect for pendants
  • Box Chain: Modern, squared links, very durable
  • Franco Chain: Italian craftsmanship, lies flat
  • Wheat Chain: Intricate, elegant appearance
  • Figaro Chain: Classic Italian design
Is platinum heavy to wear?

Weight and Comfort of Platinum Chains

Platinum is denser than gold, so a platinum chain will feel heavier than an identical gold chain. Many wearers appreciate this substantial feel as a sign of quality. However, choose appropriate thickness for comfortable extended wear.

  • Platinum is about 60% heavier than 14K gold
  • The weight is often perceived as quality
  • Consider thinner chains for lighter feel
  • Most wearers adapt quickly to the weight
  • Comfortable for daily wear in moderate thicknesses
