gold jewelry w/ platinum ring?
I was just wondering...if my boyfriend were to give me a platinum
engagement ring, would that mean I couldn't wear gold jewelry
anymore? Hypothetically speaking of course :-)
I have a platinum engagement/wedding set and I wear gold rings on my right
hand sometimes.
I do have a pair of hinged-hoop earrings which combine
brushed white gold and shiny yellow gold and a few tiny diamond chips.
I wear them with whatever combination of other metals I choose.
Unlike silver or white gold, the platinum is completely "white". If you
were to wear a white gold ring next to a platinum ring, the gold would
seem off-color. And plat. won't give a yellowed cast to the diamond(s)!
We had my aunt's emerald-cut diamond set in a very sleek, modern
platinum setting last year. I wear it with old-fashioned jewelry *and*
modern stuff, mixing colors and finishes (matte/shiny) all the time.
You can hardly go wrong!
I wear my mom's platinum engagement ring on my right hand and my gold
one on my left.
I think the 'bridge' piece is a good idea. Perhaps the wedding band could have
a yellow gold and platinum design. This would bring the gold in to tie in with
your other pieces.
