Platinum Next To My Other Rings Question: I am looking into purchasing a wedding band that is 1/3 carat princess cut and is stamped 500 Platinum / 490 Palladium.

I was wondering if it will look different next to my 950PT engagement ring?

I was also wondering if local jewelers will be able to resize the ring as it is a 5 and I need to go to an 8 and half. Is this a wise choice to purchase the ring, I am worried about the mix of platinum and palladium together and the long term effects, i.e. will it need to be cleaned more often, will it be more likely to dull or to show scratches?

Thank you very much for your response
