Mounting Engagement
What you Should Know about Platinum Ring Mountings
Platinum ring mountings have a silver metallic look that shines much better than yellow gold. This is the reason why more and more people are opting for platinum ring settings for their engagement and other rings. Since platinum is stronger than gold, it holds the gemstones, especially diamonds, more securely.
Features of Platinum Ring Mountings
Platinum ring mountings are made from 95% platinum and 5% other metals, such as Iridium. Although platinum ring mountings are gaining popularity, they are costlier than the traditional yellow gold or white gold ring mountings. However, a major advantage of using platinum ring mountings is that they bring out the luster and brilliance of the gemstones in a better way than does gold.
Types of Platinum Ring Mountings
Various types and designs of platinum ring mountings are available in the market. One should choose a design after taking into consideration the type of stone being mounted and the ring’s purpose. Mounts can be of the prong type, cabochon or pre notched, and each one can be shaped around a square, emerald, oval, pear, heart, triangle or marquise shaped stone. Your custom jeweler can help you choose the right platinum ring mounting for your ring.
Here are some of the commonly types of platinum ring mountings available in the market:
Cabochon: Generally used for flat backed stone, this style of mounting has a flat surface for placing the gemstone. The gemstones are held in place by either small prongs or a bezel made of thin strip of metal. This style is generally found in antique style rings.
Prongs: This type of platinum ring mountings has four or six prongs in the center to hold the stone in place. This style is generally used in the case of engagement rings or rings that have a single stone.
Pre-notched Style: An improved version of the prong styled platinum ring mountings, this style has internal prongs that form a base to hold the stone. This is increasingly being preferred, since no metal prong is protruding outside and there is little chance of it getting entangled in your clothes.
You can either choose the platinum ring mountings first or you can take a decision about the gemstone you want and then opt for the most suitable mounting. The main purpose of these mountings is to ensure that the gemstones remain in place and do not fall off. Platinum ring mountings are in demand for their brilliant look and for their ability to enhance the beauty of the ring.
