Platinum is the new “it” metal in the jewellery world. It is lustrous, durable and basically everything one could wish for. The platinum jewellery that we make for you is made from the finest grade of platinum. It contains 95% pure platinum and 5% of iridium, palladium, ruthenium and other metals.
- Processing
Platinum is the strongest, purest and most pliable metal. Its extraction, concentration and refining requires extremely complex and lengthy processing. To produce a single ounce of platinum a bulk of 7 to 12 tones of ore must be processed. Platinum does not require any alloys therefore is used pure, rather it is mixed with other metals to make alloys. Sometimes it is rhodium plated for a shinny bright appearance.
- Stamping
If you're looking to buy long-lasting platinum, look for a fineness mark of 950 Plat or Plat. This means that the item contains 95% pure platinum. Thus, it will not wear out easily.
- Purity
Pure platinum is essentially 95% pure. Its purity makes it ideal for people with sensitive skin. It is a symbol of integrity and inner truth, that’s why it makes a superb gift.
- Care
Unlike most other metals, platinum doesn't really need to be taken care off. It's strong enough to handle daily wear and tear. All you'll need is some soap solution and a soft brush.
