The metal has a dark hue much like iron, so around here if you wear a platinum ring people might think you are an engineer.

I do not know where around here is but I do not understand the connection.

In the frozen regions north of the US (aka Canada) engineers wear an iron ring on their left pinky. The rings are made from iron from a collapsed bridge, to remind them of the real-life implications of their work.
