[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9838022, member: 2844"]Platinum (for jewellery) became popular in the late 19th century, before that silver was often used to set off white stones like diamonds. After 1912 white gold began to replace platinum in a lot of jewellery, although platinum was still used for high end jewellery. I think the use of platinum in a ring like this makes it likely that it dates from the 1910s.[/QUOTE]
