Vintage Wedding Style with Platinum Jewelry
Sponsor Highlight

Apart from wedding dresses, jewelry is something we really love here at Wedding Inspirasi. When our friends at Platinum Jewelry offered the chance for us to work together on a piece about vintage-inspired jewelry, we naturally said yes!

Platinum Jewelry is known for its durability and prestige. As it is very dense and strong, platinum is a superb choice for everyday wear. Platinum jewelry is purer than white gold. At 90-95% purity, platinum jewelry is a great hypoallergenic option for those who are allergic to nickel or other metals that may be used in 14k or 18k white gold alloys. Because of its rarity, platinum also carries a special cachet for the wearer.

For many of us, when it comes to choosing between different metals for an engagement ring or wedding band, it boils down to price. But with platinum being very competitively priced now, Platinum Jewelry has never been more attractive!

For vintage style buffs, there’s another good reason to go for platinum. Platinum jewelry develops a gorgeous patina over time, a feature that is especially desirable for vintage-inspired jewelry. If you are a fan of vintage style weddings, you can check out Platinum Jewelry’s Vintage board for inspiration. We also have three style boards to get you started below!

The Romantic Vintage Bride adores graceful styles and anything that spells L.O.V.E. For the wedding day look, try a loose updo with a delicate flower crown, and a soft, feminine gown. The Romantic Vintage Bride will love rings that are exquisitely feminine, featuring intricate filigree or organic motifs inspired by nature. Platinum is a great choice if you love rings with intricate designs because its durability and strength makes it excellent for fine detailing like milgrain engraving (a beaded edge style) or complex openwork designs associated with vintage-style engagement rings.

Romantic Vintage Brides love a good love story, so here’s one! Did you know that when you scratch a piece of platinum jewelry, the metal merely gets displaced instead of being worn away? That’s the enduring quality of platinum. The durability of platinum jewelry ties in perfectly with the idea of everlasting love, and romance that will stand the test of time, don’t you think?

Platinum Jewelry for the Glamorous Vintage Bride

The Great Gatsby, and everything that is decadent and sparkly about the roaring ‘20s appeal to the Glamorous Vintage bride. For the wedding dress, think beaded fringe gowns or sleek sheaths with heavy embellishments. A bold ring with an Art Deco design is a good match for the Glam Vintage Bride. These rings typically feature multiple precious stones in their designs, so you’d want a very secure setting to hold all those jewels in place! Platinum prongs are strong, and the most secure setting for precious gemstones and diamonds.

Since the Glam Vintage bride loves accessories with a touch of luxury, here’s another consideration: if you ever tried a platinum ring and a white gold one of the same size, you may have noticed that the platinum ring feels slightly more substantial. Platinum’s higher density makes it heavier than gold, a factor that contributes to the luxurious feel of platinum jewelry.

Platinum Jewelry for the Classic Vintage Bride

The Classic Vintage Bride is all about timeless elegance. A Grace Kelly inspired wedding dress fits the bill, along with an elegant chignon and rings evocative of royalty. Rings with colored gemstones like sapphire is perfect for the Classic Vintage Bride looking for something unique, while a diamond solitaire ring is always a beautiful, timeless option. Regardless of stone color preferences, platinum is a great choice for both colorless and colored gemstones because it is naturally white and won’t cast a warm tone over stones. Another plus? Platinum jewelry won’t tarnish over time, while white gold may turn yellowish with wear, requiring regular re-plating to maintain its color.

We hope you’ve enjoyed our style boards and ring selections! Don’t forget, if you want more beautiful inspiration you can check out Platinum Jewelry’s Pinterest board or the gallery at their website.
