Does wearing A platinum RING with white gold RING cause problems?

The platinum ring can wear away at the white gold ring because platinum is a stronger metal than gold. Because white gold is plated with rhodium to look white, a platinum ring will wear away the plating of a white gold ring faster than usual, revealing a yellowish tint and requiring the white gold ring to be re-plated sooner and more frequently. Another thing to note is that though platinum is hypoallergenic, white gold often has nickel alloy in it, which can cause allergic reactions.

I think even white gold against white gold can cause a problem. They wear away each other's rhodium even faster than usual. I would go with platinum for both -- it's more durable and it won't wear away because it's a stronger metal and doesn't scratch. (Any "scratches" aren't really scratches - they are more markings - and can be polished away.)

Is platinum white gold?
No, it is not the same, as platinum and white gold are two very different metals. However, the biggest difference would be the price as platinum is more expensive than white gold. Platinum is a naturally white metal, is more durable and dense whereas white gold is not. White gold has a high maintenance cost also as it requires rhodium plating to keep it white. When it comes down to buying a platinum or white gold wedding ring, it all depends on your budget and what you can afford.

If you wear a platinum wedding ring and a white gold engagement ring will they go different colours over time?
Yes, they will. White gold is not naturally white like platinum--it is alloyed with other metals and plated with rhodium to give it it's white appearance. The plating on a white gold ring will eventually wear away, and you will need to re-plate your ring to restore it's white appearance, or else it will start to take on a yellowish tint.You should also know that a platinum ring will accelerate the wear on a white gold ring because platinum is a stronger and more durable metal than white gold. The platinum ring will constantly be rubbing up against the white gold ring if they are both worn on the same finger (which is the traditional way of wearing the rings), and this friction will wear away at the plating of the white gold ring.For these reasons, it's preferable to get matching metals for your engagement ring and wedding band.
