One concern for people who are interested in a very secure diamond setting is the idea that placing a diamond in a gold setting might not always be the most secure option, especially if the gold is very pure and soft. This is why many Atlanta diamond buyers will recommend that for those who can afford it, platinum be used as the setting for any type of ring. Not only does platinum look great with diamonds, but it is also considered to be a very solid type of setting for a diamond and given a diamond's worth, platinum is always a good choice.
