Pros of Platinum (vs Gold)
Malleable, Finer craftsmanship Better jewelers work with platinum Hypo-allergenic Rarer than gold Hold value in spite of financial fears and turmoils Often considered a symbol of prestige Heavier and more durable than white gold Tends to look more expensive Develops a stunning Patina over time
Cons of Platinum
Is significantly more expensive than white gold (even though it looks nearly identical) Will get scratched (and dull over time. Not everyone loves patina) Isn't yellow if you're looking for gold Not all jewelers are qualified to work with Platinum Pros of Yellow Gold
The most hypoallergenic of all the three gold colors. But not against Platinum Historically the most popular metal used for wedding and engagement bands The most malleable and easiest for jewelers to manipulate All jewelers can work with it Easily matched with diamonds of a lower color grade. Ben's Opinion: If you are deciding between Platinum vs White Gold?

Antique History of Platinum and Gold

Up until 1900) Georgian, Victorian -> Only Yellow Gold and Silver
(1900 - 1910) Edwardian -> Mix of Platinum and Yellow Gold
Art Deco -> Just Platinum
(White Gold became commercially available as of 1912 in Pforzheim, Germany and gained popularity in the mid-to-late 1920s as a low-cost substitute for platinum) 
Rant: Almost all real Art Deco is NOT made with White gold.
Rant: Very few high-class recent jewelry pieces are made from gold since platinum has been around...
Graff Pink, a rare 24.78 carat pink diamond -> Platinum
Hope Diamond 5.52-carat deep-blue diamond -> PLATINUM
