I wanted to make sure to note here some facts about the lifespan one can expect for the jewelry they invest in because this is one (of the many) selling points that really solidified my decision in getting a platinum engagement ring.
In addition to platinum, tungsten also has a notable lifespan for a precious metal. Though I do like Tungsten as a material, the look and association isn’t nearly that of platinum. An additional issue is that tungsten rings cannot be re-sized, so if your fingers change sizes over time (which they often do), a ring made out of it would be beyond a pain to try and re-size, if not totally impossible. That said, once again, platinum really does reign over the other precious metals out there.
It really does shock me when I hear about people not investing in it b/c it’s so practical and worth it. There is no price tag on something that will be reminding you and your spouse of eachother for the rest of your lives – truly. The ring I proposed to my wife is below. Can’t believe I haven’t posted it on here until now!
Cheers!

Stunning!
