I have a platinum engaement ring solitaire. I wanted an eternity platinum band but too pricey. I tried to match up white gold but I can tell the differance. The platinum is very shiny where the white gold almost looks like sterling silver next to it. White gold does dull even more over the years where platinum doesn’t. Platinum is the softer metal out of the two but it holds up longer and nicer. If you find an affordable platinum eternity wedding band let me know. Good Luck!

No. Gold and Platinum don’t corrode. White gold is solid throughout. I’ve worn my white gold solitaire for 40 years and it has never needed replating.

It’s what you choose, of course, but there isn’t a problem with them affecting each other. However, white gold requires a lot of maintenance!

Huh? Gold doesn’t corrode… that is why it’s used on electronic contacts… and platinum is also inert… I don’t understand the question… because it’s not possible for those two metals to react outside of a solution designed to destroy them.
Of course, I’m talking about REAL gold and not Gold PLATE or Gold FILLED or Platinum PLATE or FILLED… that is an entirely different thing. Those DO need to be replated from time to time.

white gold will always need re/coating …even after normal wear…(its is a base of yellow) …..platinum will not , (natural colour ) just need a polish now and again …
wearing next to each other the platinum one will wear down the softer gold one after a length of time ,…!!!

My engagement ring and my wedding band (which I will begin wearing on December 20, 2008!) are both platinum, however the ring I wear on my middle finger, next to my engagement ring, is white gold. I’ve been wearing the two side by side since August 28, 2007. I’ve had no problems with the two whatsoever. There are no scratches, no corrosion, nothing. The two are fine together. Also the white gold ring (a gift from my grandmother) needs to be replated in rhodium every year or two. Apparently the user above me doesn’t understand that gold is not naturally white, and it is the rhodium within the gold which gives it the white color. That’s why white gold needs to be replated in rhodium every year or two, otherwise it will begin to have a yellowish tinge to it. And thats not white gold! It begins to turn into yellow gold, which is what it naturall should be and what it started out as! That’s what my jeweler told me to do, and I’ve always done it. Side by side there is little difference between the platinum and the white gold, but after a year or two the white gold does begin to yellow. I get it done every year because I absolutely hate yellow gold, and I hate that sneaking tinge of yellow gold. It doesn’t really begin to show until 1 1/2- 2 years though. Next to platinum, though, you may want to keep up on it and have it done every year. Just have it replated in rhodium by your jeweler every year or however often you decide, but no longer than two years, and it’ll be fine. Mine always has been. Replating it in rhodium is fairly inexpensive, and my jeweler does it for $20 a year, although this went up from $15. Good luck and congratulations!!!

Ask a jewler for the specifics of care and corrode issues. But as far as matching, I dont think it matters.

Hope you’re putting as much thought and time into your marriage as you are into some pieces of metal for your fingers.
All the best for your marriage

No – you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference but the white gold ring would need to be dipped every 12 – 24 months.
I’ve had a white gold wedding band for 2 years now and it isn’t yellowing at all.
