Is platinum worth the extra cost for an engagement ring?

Platinum is typically 20–40% more expensive than white gold, but it offers superior durability, purity, and zero maintenance over a lifetime. It never needs re-plating and is naturally hypoallergenic. For a piece you will wear every day for decades, many find the investment worthwhile.

Does a halo setting make the diamond look bigger?

Yes. A halo frame of small diamonds can make the centre stone appear 20–30% larger than its actual carat weight. This makes halo settings an excellent choice for maximising visual impact within a budget.
