Platinum

Platinum is the rarest and most enduring of the precious metals.  Ranked in value above silver and even gold, its long history begins 3,000 years ago in ancient Egypt.  Today platinum is regarded as the finest metal for jewelry.

What makes platinum so special?  

Platinum is a dense, heavy metal. When scratched, material is displaced or moved – not lost – and a ring made of platinum will never wear thin.  Platinum jewelry is 95% pure, an extremely high level of purity that gold jewelry cannot claim (18 karat gold is 75% pure; 14 karat gold is 58% pure).

Platinum is exceptionally white and long-wearing; unlike white gold, it does not need to be plated with rhodium.  As time passes, platinum develops a natural patina, creating an “aged” and understated look that some wearers prefer. To restore the piece to its original luster, simply take it to a qualified jeweler to be polished.

The bright whiteness of platinum makes it the perfect setting for both diamond and colored gemstone rings.  What a way to showcase the brilliance of a diamond or the depth of a sapphire!  Prongs made out of platinum provide unmatched security and protection for stones; you will often see gold engagement rings with a diamond solitaire set with platinum prongs.  

A durable platinum ring can be worn for a lifetime and then passed down for another generation – or more – to enjoy.  Due its lasting elegance, platinum is the first choice of many discerning couples when choosing wedding rings.  An engagement ring made of platinum will cost about twice as much as a similar ring made of 18 karat white gold.  As it is a costly and rare material, platinum is not always used in the full range of jewelry products; instead, it is reserved for engagement and wedding rings – and other high-end jewelry items.

How do I care for my platinum jewelry?

Avoid wearing your jewelry while doing heavy-duty housework, gardening, and other manual labor.  Keep away from bleach and harsh chemicals. To clean, use a solution of mild soap and water then dry with a soft cloth.  Alternately, purchase a jar of jewelry cleaner. When storing, keep jewelry pieces separated to avoid scratching.
