Yes, we sure can. It is a custom order, and takes about 2 weeks, but we can do it! The benefit of making this in platinum:
1) The metal will never "yellow" as white gold does (white gold is made by "bleaching" yellow gold with nickel, then rhodium plating, and when the rhodium plating wears off, the underlying color is off-white).
2) Platinum is hypo-allergenic. Platinum is also 90% pure, whereas 14k gold is 58% pure.
3) The ring will also weigh heavier, as platinum is denser, and will have a more substantial feel to it. Which many people like.
