Choosing K gold for a diamond ring is better than platinum. Because K gold has high hardness, stronger support than platinum, rich colors, and a relatively affordable price.
1. K gold has high hardness
K gold has high hardness and is not easily deformed. It can firmly protect precious diamonds and be used in diamond ring design to flexibly and creatively showcase the shape of the ring. The biggest disadvantage of platinum is its low hardness and easy deformation. If not matched properly, it may cause diamonds to fall off.
2. K gold has a richer color
K gold is 75% gold mixed with 25% other metals, so it presents different colors. Common colors include white 18K gold, rose 18K gold, yellow 18K gold, etc. Due to their rich colors, it is very fashionable. Platinum is a pure natural metal that can maintain its natural silver white color, hence it has only one color.
3. The price of K gold is more affordable
Because K gold contains 25% other metals and its purity is not high, the price of K gold is relatively affordable. Platinum is a natural metal, and the resources of platinum are scarce. Its mining output is only 5% of gold, and rare things are expensive, so the price will be very high.
