Designed in Melbourne · Made for You
A platinum engagement ring is made from 95% pure platinum, a naturally white, dense metal that never needs plating. It's the most hypoallergenic and longest-wearing choice for a ring worn every day. At Savoir-Faire Jewellery, platinum costs the same as 18ct white gold, and every design is made to order in our Melbourne workshop.

Buying guide
How platinum wears, why it feels heavier, and why at our prices it's the obvious choice over white gold for most couples.
Our platinum is Pt950: 95% pure platinum. Unlike white gold, it's white all the way through, so there's no plating to wear off and no warm tone waiting underneath. It's also the most hypoallergenic metal we use, which makes it the safe choice for anyone with a known metal allergy.
Platinum does scratch, and often more visibly than white gold at first. The difference is what happens to the metal. A scratch on platinum moves the metal rather than removing it, so over the years it develops a soft, satiny patina, and a jeweller can polish it back to a mirror shine without losing metal. Gold loses a tiny sliver every time it's scratched or polished, so it thins very slowly over decades.
That's why platinum is the heirloom metal: it can be refinished again and again and stay substantial.
Platinum is about 35-40% denser than 18ct gold, so the same design feels noticeably more substantial in the hand. Many people love that weight; a few find it heavy, which is the main reason to choose white gold instead.
At Savoir-Faire Jewellery, platinum costs the same as 18ct white gold. Gold has cost more than platinum since 2015, so the old rule that platinum is the premium-priced option no longer holds. With price off the table, the choice comes down to this:
For most couples that makes platinum the better choice. See white gold engagement rings to compare, or read our platinum vs white gold guide.
If you'll wear your engagement ring and wedding band together, match the metal. A harder ring slowly wears down a softer one where they rub, and platinum wears differently from gold. Our platinum bands cost the same as 18ct gold. See women's platinum wedding rings and men's platinum wedding bands.
The price shown on each ring here includes a lab-grown diamond at the carat weight selected above the grid. See all lab-grown diamond engagement rings.
Straight answers from our Melbourne jewellers.
Not at Savoir-Faire Jewellery. We price platinum the same as 18ct white gold, for engagement rings and wedding bands.
Yes, sometimes more visibly than gold at first. But a scratch moves the metal rather than removing it, so platinum develops a soft patina and can be polished back to a mirror shine without thinning.
No. Platinum is naturally white all the way through. Only white gold is rhodium plated and needs re-plating.

“Fantastic experience with Tom and Conor. I needed an engagement ring urgently and they delivered beyond expectations. The ring is absolutely stunning, the craftsmanship is exceptional, and the whole process was smooth and professional. Couldn’t be happier with the result, highly recommend.”

“Conor was an absolute pleasure to deal with.He has tremendous attention to detail. He crafted a 1.5 carat diamond in 18ct gold solitaire, which I absolutely love. He spent a lot of time with me ensuring that he understood exactly what I wanted. I would absolutely recommend his business and I will definately be purchasing from him again. He is a testament to when you love what you do,and you treat people well, success is a given.”
