NEW YORK, Dec. 24 (UPI) -- The diamond industry has dominated the bridal market for decades, but a campaign for platinum rings is being planned.
Platinum Guild International, the U.S. marketing arm of the platinum industry, has devised an elaborate advertising campaign aimed at couples -- often living together -- introducing its own message about marriage with: "Your Love Has Just Gone Platinum," the New York Times reported Saturday.
"What we found is that today's engaged-age couple really has a very practical and realistic attitude toward marriage and love," said Michelle Peranteau, marketing manager for the Platinum Guild International. "Surprisingly, what was absent was a romantic notion of love."
The platinum industry found adults see marriage as an upgrade to their current relationship, Peranteau said.
