What are the advantages of having an engagement ring made out of white gold?

It?s much cheaper than platinum indeed. Other advantages of white gold are that its color usually stays brighter longer than platinum and that white gold prongs (which hold the diamond on the ring) are usually more durable and stable than prongs made out of platinum.

White gold has a softer, more neutral color than yellow gold. It is thought to be elegant and can many any color stone. In addition, it is similar in color to platinum yet it is less expensive.

Compared to platinum gold actually doesn't get scratched so easily. Platinum might be durable but it's by no means scratch resistant. In addition gold is much cheaper than platinum and lighter, which makes it much more practical and comfortable in my opinion. If platinum wasn't 10 times rarer than gold, and mining platinum didn't involve such a complex process than gold would remain the world's number one precious metal. I think that gold, both yellow and white are prettier than platinum.
