Platinum

Platinum metal

Platinum, for its density, durability, and excellent oxidation resistance, is called the eternal metal. The natural white color of the Platinum never tarnishes. To look white, Platinum doesn't need to be plated with rhodium, like white gold, that was invented as an imitation of Platinum. Platinum never fades. It has chemical and acid-resistant. Due to its hardness, it's perfect for a diamond engagement ring and as hypo allergic metal – for earrings. It doesn't mean that Platinum is unscratchable, but it has high-level scratch resistance. The price of platinum jewelry is higher than similar golden jewelry.

Not every jeweler is eligible to work with Platinum. Hard melting metal needs special equipment, knowledge, and experience to work with this alloy. If you want to ask, what is the difference between different platinum alloys? It's easy. First of all, pay attention to the first number on the stamp Pt900 – If the first number is "900," it means that it has 90% of Platinum and 10% of other metals in the alloy. Pt950 – if the first number is "950," it means that it has 95% of Platinum and 5% of other metals in the alloy.
