WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCEs BETWEEN WHITE GOLD AND PLATINUM?

White gold over time will need rhodium plating as the natural warm hue of white gold appears with wear and tear. Platinum is a pure white metal so it will get a patina to it but will always remain white in color. You may read about the differences from here .

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SENSATIONAL VS SIGNATURE QUALITY?

Sensational quality means all the diamonds are G-H in color and VS-SI in clarity. Signature quality means all the diamonds are I-J in color and VS-SI in clarity. It is tough to tell the difference between the two qualities, especially to the naked eye. If you are purchasing a yellow gold or rose gold setting, we recommend signature quality. White gold and platinum, we recommend sensational quality. Otherwise, signature quality can save a little money.
