Is platinum good for men? Edited

This is one of the most common questions I see here.
| Option | Typical Cost |
| Lab created | $500 |
| Natural stone | 5-10x more |
| Plated alternative | $20-$50 but will tarnish |
If you are on the fence, go with the middle option. The plated stuff looks fine for a month then turns skin green. The natural stone is beautiful but the markup is brutal.
Based on my experience:
I wear mine every day, including to the gym and to sleep. After a year and a half it still looks brand new.
My only regret is not sizing up slightly. It fits snug now that winter is coming.
Quick summary first, then details: My ring came from Tiffany with a full certificate. Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.
This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.
