What Is Platinum?

Platinum is a naturally white, rare, and durable precious metal. It’s hypoallergenic and highly resistant to tarnishing, making it a popular choice for fine jewellery, especially engagement and wedding rings at Oliver Morgan.

Platinum’s strength and purity make it ideal for securing diamonds and withstanding everyday wear. At Oliver Morgan, we use platinum to create timeless rings that stay bright and beautiful for generations.
