Platinum Metal Guide

Platinum Metal Guide

One of the rarest elements found on Earth, platinum is a naturally occurring white metal that is synonymous with opulence. It’s bright lustre, brilliant aesthetic as well as its low maintenance and longevity makes it a stunning choice for diamond engagement rings and wedding bands alike. At double the density and weight of gold, it is ideal for precious jewellery and large diamond rings. Because of this dense characteristic, platinum can be used in a purer form than gold; platinum jewellery is generally comprised of 95% platinum and 5% alloys, known as 950 platinum. 

Platinum is the least reactive metal. It occurs in Copper ores along with some native deposits, mostly in South Africa. An extremely rare, non-reactive metal that is resistive to corrosion. Ideal for sensitive skin as it is hypo-allergenic.

Although it holds a higher value than gold or silver, platinum will last you a lifetime and will not require replacing to maintain it’s bright lustre. Just a simple polish will retain its shine. Over time, platinum develops a beautiful patina, or a sheen, that is very desirable.
