Something I’ve neglected to metion up to this point that I think is notable about platinum, is how it ages. My wife and I both have platinum rings/bands and they have begun developing this stunning lusterous finish. I’ve seen what vintage platinum jewelry looks like before, but never made the corralation until now.
Like other things of high quality, platinum developes this rich aura as it ages – it’s almost satin-looking. It’s kind of a sweet way to reflect on the years we’ve been together, not to sound cliche. But I really do look at our rings now and see the subtle wear time has taken on their finish, and it’s beyond words. It’s such a classic, luxurious material – certainly my wife would say the exact same.
