Platinum is naturally white, with a cool, silvery hue that does not fade over time. It is also extremely durable and resistant to scratching, tarnishing, and corrosion. So, it’s harder than white gold and yellow gold and similar to rose gold (although the latter is more prone to scratching). Platinum is also hypoallergenic and, with a 95% purity, suitable for sensitive skin - while rose and white gold use allows that can cause skin reactions. Lastly, platinum is denser and heavier than all types of gold and is generally more expensive due to its rarity.
