The Spectrum of Starberry Platinum
| Feature | Platinum | 18K White Gold |
|---|---|---|
| Color | Naturally white | Achieved through rhodium plating |
| Color Over Time | Never yellows | Plating wears and requires re-plating |
| Purity | Very high (85–95%) | 75% gold + other metals |
| Maintenance | Low | Ongoing plating maintenance |
| Durability | Dense, strong, long-lasting | Durable but softer over time |
18K white gold offers a refined appearance, but its white finish depends on rhodium plating that can fade with wear and requires ongoing care. As gold prices continue to rise, white gold can also be more sensitive to long-term maintenance and replacement costs.
Platinum, by contrast, is naturally white, heavier, and more durable—retaining its color and structure without plating.
