Platinum Diamond Rings, High Purity Metal, Secure Settings
Platinum holds more weight than gold, keeps diamond settings secure for years, and shows a cooler, denser finish, which ages differently than white gold does. This collection at Maaz Jewelers is built with a platinum alloy at a higher density than most fine jewelry sold today. Three ring styles pair 2-carat center stones cut in pear and cushion shapes with round and baguette accent diamonds set in geometric patterns. Prices in the collection run from $3,915 to $6,375. Browse the styles above, or stop by our San Mateo store to try one on.
A Note on This Collection’s Metal Specification
We’re currently confirming the exact parts-per-thousand purity of the platinum alloy used in this collection with our supplier, since platinum is measured differently than gold and we want to describe it accurately. What we can say with confidence: this alloy is denser and heavier than the standard 950 platinum used in most fine jewelry, which means a 2-carat center stone sits more securely in the prongs over years of daily wear than the same setting in a lighter alloy. We’ll update this description with the specific purity figure once confirmed.
Platinum vs White Gold, Real Differences
White gold starts as yellow gold blended with white metals, then gets coated in rhodium for a bright white shine. The coating wears down with regular use and needs replating every couple of years to keep its look. Platinum is white on its own and skips the coating step entirely. The color on the ring at purchase stays close to the color years later, with only basic cleaning. For a diamond ring worn daily, platinum removes one upkeep step white gold requires for life. Platinum does scratch a little more easily than white gold, developing a soft surface patina over time rather than losing shine, and many people prefer the look.
Ring Styles in the Collection
The collection holds three ladies diamond ring styles, each set in this platinum alloy. Two rings center a 2-carat pear diamond with round, pear, and baguette accent stones at 2 3/4 carats total weight, priced at $3,915 and $5,295. The third centers a 2-carat cushion diamond with round, pear, cushion, and baguette accents at 3 1/2 carats total weight, priced at $6,375. All three pair a strong center stone with a full ring of accent diamonds rather than a plain band.
Who This Collection Fits
These rings suit someone set on a heavier, denser platinum option, without giving up stone size or setting security. At $3,915 to $6,375 for a 2-carat diamond ring, the pricing sits within reach for pieces mixing this stone size with this metal density. Stop by our San Mateo store to try one on before deciding.
Caring for a Platinum Ring
Platinum builds a soft surface patina as small scratches collect over months of wear. Some people like this matte look and leave it alone. A jeweler restores the original high polish in a few minutes for anyone who prefers the mirror shine. Between visits, clean the ring with warm water and a soft brush once a month, and store it away from other jewelry to prevent surface contact. Bring the ring into our repair services team in San Mateo once a year for a prong check. Platinum prongs hold up longer than gold ones, though a 2-carat stone still benefits from a regular look.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is platinum better than white gold for diamond rings?
Platinum doesn’t require the periodic rhodium replating that white gold needs to maintain its color, since platinum is naturally white. It also holds diamond settings more securely due to its density, though it develops a soft surface patina over time that some people prefer and others choose to have polished out.
What diamond cuts are in this collection?
The collection includes pear and cushion center stone cuts, each surrounded by round, pear, and baguette accent diamonds in geometric patterns.
What is the price range for platinum rings at Maaz Jewelers?
Prices range from $3,915 to $6,375 for the current collection, all featuring 2-carat center stones.
Does platinum require special care?
Platinum needs less maintenance than white gold since it doesn’t need replating, but it should be cleaned monthly with warm water and a soft brush, and have its prongs checked annually.
