gold or platinum weight?
« on: February 06, 2011, 04:41:21 pm »
Hi,
   I noticed that few people had exchanged gold for platinum weight.
I did not noticed that it was done in reverse ( it means platinum for gold )

Is there any reason for this exchange?

Hi Janusz:  I had my gold weight removed due to an allergic reaction to the gold (very rare).
I like the platinum better because it's a heavier weight than gold, so the piece is smaller, less noticeable.
There is also a platinum chain which is really flat.
Hope this helps.  Always good thoughts,  Nancy

My ophthalmologist only uses platinum. He says there is next to no chance for complication that way.
