Would you recommend platinum on martini screwback studs ? So good that you pointed out the softness of platinum. Wondering how screw back platinum setting will do over time, seems like platinum will make a more impressive setting if I want to come up with an impressive gift. However after watching this video and thinking of what I paid for a couple of 6mm center stones, I am definitely weighing heavily on the security of the studs.

This is a great video everyone! Dan, thank you for posting and sharing the knowledge.

Is the maintenance cost for both similar? Recoating vs Polishing?

I agree with some of your comments, as for the white gold depending on the alloys you use in the gold you can make it much more white in color than Platinum because Platinum is more of steel color that's why you have to Rhodium it.
