Pt950 diamond ring
At present, the most commonly used materials for wedding diamond rings are 18k gold and platinum. First of all, Bian Xiao introduces these two materials to you:
18k gold: 75% gold and 25% other metal alloys. Pure gold is not suitable for making wedding diamond rings with diamonds. Due to the addition of other metals, the hardness of 18k gold is higher than that of platinum, and it can maintain stable performance in many cases, so it is not suitable for deformation and gives stable protection. The improvement of material hardness also enables 18k gold to make more complicated and fashionable wedding diamond ring styles. 18k gold is also one of the cheaper materials, but due to its low purity, it is easy to change color and fade, so more attention should be paid to maintenance.
Platinum: Platinum is rare, pure and eternal, and is considered as the metal of love. Other metals, such as 18k gold, have been added to the platinum used now to improve its hardness. Common ones are pt950 and pt900. Although other metals are added, the hardness is still not as good as that of 18k gold, so it is impossible to make many complicated wedding diamond ring styles like 18k gold, and it is also the most expensive ring-holding material. But platinum has white luster, high purity and will not fade. No matter how long it is worn, it can keep its essence unchanged, and it is also convenient to match with daily wear and other jewelry.
Platinum wedding diamond ring has better purity and luster, but its hardness and style are not as good as 18k kGold. 18k gold wedding diamond ring is relatively cheap and has many styles, but its purity and beauty are not as good as platinum's. Bian Xiao suggested that it is best to use 18k gold for large carats, and it is safer to set diamonds with higher hardness, while platinum is used for small carats, which is convenient for matching.
Whether the wedding diamond ring is inlaid with 18k gold or platinum is good, the hardness is generally enough, and the key depends on personal preference and the angle of setting safety. Don't think about preserving and increasing value. After all, the gold weight of the wedding diamond ring is very small, and it does not play much role in maintaining and increasing value.
