David & Greg:

    I truly appreciate your insights. The question became relevant for
    me as I have many customers who come from both sides of the fence.
    Some choose platinum for the inherent quality of patina over time
    lending to an antique look. I do have some that choose platinum for
    its durability and beauty in the newly finished state, but are
    disappointed at how quickly the polish finish is lost in daily wear.
    I have salespeople who actually steer customers towards 18kwg and
    away from platinum if they feel that the customer is going to fall
    in the latter category. We are simply looking for alternatives for
    the people who want and are willing to pay for the coveted metal,
    but who arent interested in the maintenance required to keep their
    high polished finish. 

    It is an age old conundrum, to be sure. I appreciate all opinions.
