There are many different types of metals to choose from when you are looking for jewelry. The most commonly used metal is gold. Gold has been used for fashion and jewelry for many years. Gold is great for a number of reasons, but there is one metal that is more rare than all the other precious metals. Platinum rings are the rarest metal used in jewelry. In fact there are a very limited amount of places that still mine for platinum. It just isn’t very abundant.

When trying to decide which type of metal you should make sure you know what you are allergic to. A recent 2012 survey around 10% of the people in the world are allergic to nickel.Nickel is found in almost all gold jewelry. So if you allergic you can have a skin rash break out, depending on how severe your allergy is.If you can’t wear gold the next best thing is platinum.It is better but the price is more expensive.
