Platinum Rings

Platinum became the metal of choice for fine jewellery in the early 20th century, particularly during the Art Deco era, prized for its natural whiteness and ability to showcase diamonds. A platinum ring symbolises purity, rarity, and eternal commitment, making it the preferred choice for wedding bands and engagement rings. Its exceptional strength also represents the solidity of a precious bond.

950 platinum, used by Mayuri, contains 95% pure platinum compared to 90% for 900 platinum, offering superior purity and better durability. 950 platinum is the standard for fine French jewellery, identifiable by its official hallmark. This composition guarantees unchanging whiteness and optimal resistance to daily wear, without requiring rhodium plating unlike white gold.

Platinum beautifully enhances white diamonds, revealing their brilliance without altering their colour, as well as blue sapphires for an elegant contrast. Mayuri offers platinum solitaire rings set with diamonds, Burmese rubies, emeralds, or Thai sapphires. Platinum's neutrality also allows black diamonds to shine for a bold contemporary style.

A fine platinum ring can be worn alone for a minimalist look or stacked with other rings in the same metal to create a harmonious ensemble. Platinum is perfectly suited to everyday wear thanks to its exceptional durability and comfort, even during manual activities. For a complete look, you can pair your ring with white gold jewellery, whose hue naturally complements platinum.

A platinum ring is an exceptional gift to celebrate important milestones: wedding anniversary (especially 10 or 20 years), personal birthday, or marriage proposal. Its rarity makes it a more precious gift than gold, symbolising the uniqueness of the relationship. Mayuri offers customisable platinum wedding bands and engagement rings, with engraving options for an intimate message.

Over time, platinum develops a natural patina called noble patina, which creates a satin finish appreciated by connoisseurs. Unlike gold, which loses metal when scratched, platinum simply moves on the surface without loss of volume. This unique characteristic ensures your platinum ring retains its weight and value. Professional polishing in a workshop can restore the original lustre if desired.

Platinum is 30 times rarer than gold, making it a valuable long-term investment. A 950 platinum ring maintains its natural whiteness without requiring regular rhodium plating treatments, unlike white gold. Its superior density offers optimal security for precious stones, with platinum prongs being more resistant. For collectors and fine jewellery enthusiasts, platinum represents excellence and longevity.

Mayuri creates platinum rings in different styles to suit every taste:

• Vintage and Art Deco style: geometric lines, millegrain setting, 1920s-1930s inspiration
• Modern style: refined design, contemporary lines, tension setting
• Classic style: timeless solitaire, diamond halo, trilogy

Each creation can be personalised according to your aesthetic preferences.

For slender fingers, choose a fine platinum ring with a delicate stone for harmonious visual balance. Wider hands are enhanced by more substantial rings with pavé or stone halos. A platinum solitaire ring visually lengthens short fingers, while a wide band suits long fingers. Mayuri offers a PDF ring sizer to determine your exact size. Express shipping available worldwide. Returns accepted within 30 days, see our shipping & returns policy for details.

Platinum can be resized by a qualified jeweller, typically by 1 to 2 sizes up or down without compromising the structure. Its high density and very high melting point require specific expertise and professional equipment. Platinum rings with full pavé or complex patterns are more difficult to adjust. Mayuri recommends determining your size carefully before ordering using the sizing guide available on the site.

A platinum wedding band is typically a simple or subtly adorned ring, worn daily after marriage, symbolising union and continuity. The platinum engagement ring features a central stone (diamond, sapphire, emerald) showcased by an elaborate setting: solitaire, halo, or pavé. Mayuri offers both types, with the possibility of creating a harmonious set where the wedding band fits perfectly with the engagement ring.

Platinum offers a pure natural whiteness that does not alter the perception of a diamond's colour, unlike the yellow reflections of gold. Its superior density creates finer yet stronger prongs, maximising the light passing through the stone. Platinum does not oxidise and maintains a secure setting over time, durably protecting your investment. This is why prestigious jewellery houses favour platinum for exceptional diamonds.
