Which is better- white gold, yellow gold, or Platinum setting?

When choosing the setting for the expensive gemstone, the question often arises as to what metal would hold the stone most securely.

Platinum settings resist breakage, chipping and cracking better than those of gold. They can be more delicate, yet secure， provided they’re hand fabricated or die stamped and not cast. Most platinum alloys retain their finish better and do not wear down the way gold does. This is due to the greater density and strength of platinum. In fact, some European insurance companies won’t insure diamonds over one carat if they’re not set in platinum because they know platinum settings are more secures. Platinum jewelry should normally have platinum settings.
