People want jewelry they can wear day after day, but they also want the jeweley they can leave behind to a loved one.
That’s a huge demand for a piece of jewelry, but with a precious material like platinum, it is absolutely possible.
Although platinum has only been used in jewelry for less than 300 years, it has already proven to be the first choice when it comes to heirloom-quality jewelry.
Over time, platinum can develop a satiny finish on its surface called patina. There is a significant visual appeal to platinum’s patina and many people do not polish it away in order to keep its charming.
Platinum alloys used in jewelry are 90%-95% pure platinum. Not only does this density of platinum is helpful for the strength and durability of the metal, but it also makes the metal hypoallergenic. Many customers are worried about the jewelry they wear because of skin sensitivities to some metals. That is never a problem when wearing platinum jewelry.
