    From a practical perspective, platinum is much softer than white
    gold, so trade one problem for another, rhodium wears off, platinum
    can look scratched up and dull fairly quickly, I have seen customers
    who were very disappointed by not being informed of how soft
    platinum is prior to purchasing. I have made hundreds of white gold
    rhodium plated rings and have not had reputation headaches or other
    problems. Have other retailers had much problems with customer
    dissatisfaction or problems with rhodium when disclosure was made
    prior to the sale?
