How does platinum compare to white gold for engagement rings?

Platinum is more durable and hypoallergenic compared to white gold, making it ideal for everyday wear. Unlike white gold, platinum does not need to be replated to maintain its color. Its natural white luster also enhances the brilliance of diamonds and other gemstones.
