Mother’s Day is coming up soon, which means it’s time to start looking for gift ideas that are as awesome as our moms are. There are as many gift ideas as there are types of mommas – from cool tech gadgets, to framed mommy memories – or if you have a mom like mine, a shiny new wheel barrow filled with tools, lol. Or – maybe you have a momma who loves pretty things, like flowers and jewelry. If so, I have an awesome tip for you – Now that the prices of gold have gone up so much, Platinum is actually a more affordable option. This rocks my socks, because I’ve always loved Platinum pieces. Here are a few reasons why Platinum is such an awesome option:
- Platinum is naturally a white metal. If you choose white gold, you’re getting gold that’s been mixed with an alloy to take away that yellow color. So, platinum never fades or changes color – but white gold has to be re-dipped about once or twice a year to keep it’s white color. And who has time for that?
- Since platinum is such a pure metal, it doesn’t cast any color into the stones you set in it. That means that a diamond set in platinum sparkles and shines crazy bright – There’s a reason that this is what celebrities choose for red carpet events!
- Platinum is super dense. No, not dense like that crazy guy in the next cubicle, lol. It’s more solid – 40% denser than 14K gold. What that means is that it’s able to hold your diamond or stone more securely. Also, it holds up to everyday wear much better – if gold is scratched, it loses tiny shavings of metal. When Platinum gets scratched, it just displaces the metal on the surface of the ring, never losing it.
Sounds good, right? It’s easier to care for, prettier to look at, and sturdy enough to keep up with the challenges of a busy mom life. Perfect. What better way to honor mom than with a piece of jewelry that’s as hard working and beautiful as she is? To learn more, and do some gift shopping, visit precious platinum online – that’s where I found the ring above. I love the simplicity of it, and I think that the pearl is a really cool alternative to a traditional diamond. I know that this would make ME a happy momma if I opened this package up on Mother’s Day. {Hint, hint honey – it’s May 13th. Put it on your list :)}
