Sizing Up Platinum Rings
Additional Topics
Question customers to understand when and how they will wear their jewellery, and then determine which types of rings are most appropriate
Key factors in finding the right piece for customers include how they wear their platinum jewellery (daily, occasionally, in contact with other pieces, etc.) and how careful they are when wearing it
This elaborate ring is well suited for a customer who has a low-activity lifestyle and profession, such as a business professional, lab worker, consultant or watercolour artist
Among various options, low-activity customers can consider lightweight platinum jewellery items with delicate setting styles, fine engraving, millgrain trim, filigree and micro-pavé set diamonds
Platinum is the ideal metal for setting, securing and protecting fine gemstones. However, because of the stone’s setting and the ring’s thin, narrow shank, this ring is best worn infrequently and during gentle activity.
This ring would be appropriate for someone who is moderately active. Related professions include medical professionals, caregivers, those who work with crafts or textiles, and home gardeners.
This platinum ring features an attractively set tanzanite centre stone that is protected by a partial bezel. Additionally, it has sapphires and small diamonds carefully set into the shank.
For moderately active lifestyles, choose low- to mid-profile centre-set gemstones, details with prominent engraving or substantial filigree, and micro-settings in the shank that will not make contact with external objects
Individuals who are very active and work with tools, equipment and machinery, or participate in impact sports run significant risk of damaging their jewellery
Advise these consumers to avoid wearing jewellery during vigorous activity, and to pick jewellery suited to their highly active lifestyle
Consider lower-profile centre settings and protective settings such as double prongs, bezels or partial bezels. For side stones, consider channel or flush-style settings. There should be few or no fine details in areas that will come into contact with diamonds or hard objects.
