That does not mean you should not buy it, but only our experience.
I'd be interested in other's experiences that have bought it.
In terms of metals' properties, gold is "harder"- but that's not necessarily a good thing.
When a metal is harder, it is also more brittle.
If we're considering 10, 14 or 18karat gold, it's not really an issue- but it also means that platinum's superiority is really unchallenged.
