Hollywood Stars Prefer Platinum Wedding Rings
From Megan Fox’s surprise nuptials on a beach to Vanessa Minnillo’s long-awaited engagement, many of Hollywood‘s biggest names chose to celebrate their lifelong commitments this year with platinum wedding rings.
Why platinum? Platinum’s durability makes it the most secure setting for diamonds and other gemstones. So celebrities can enjoy their hectic lifestyles without worrying about prongs breaking or loose stones, believes Platinum Guild International-USA.
