When making custom jewellery, we pay attention to many details, one of which is the material. In addition to the traditional 14kt and 18kt gold, we also make jewellery from platinum, which has recently become very popular. What are the advantages of platinum, and why choose this precious metal? You can read this and much more useful information in this article.
If you are thinking about making a custom piece of jewellery, we recommend choosing platinum as the material. Platinum has four important advantages that no other metal has.
HIGH RESISTANCE
One of the key advantages of platinum is its durability. Thanks to the high density of platinum in the alloys, it has the ability to withstand everything that the jewellery comes into contact with during everyday wear.
NATURAL WHITE COLOUR
The natural colour of platinum is white. Unlike white gold, which is pale yellow, White gold must be rhodium plated to obtain a beautiful white colour. The downside is that this plating will scratch with wear, and the natural yellowish colour of the white gold will come to the surface. After that, the jewellery must be re-rhodiumised again. The natural white shade of platinum is permanent. It also perfectly enhances the brilliance and lustre of colourless and coloured diamonds and gemstones.
HYPOALLERGENIC METAL
The alloy we use in the production of custom jewellery is 95% pure platinum. This density of platinum not only contributes to the metal's overall strength and durability but also makes the metal hypoallergenic. Many customers experience sensitivity to the nickel and copper found in gold alloys. This will not happen with platinum.
THE FIRMEST ATTACHMENT OF STONES
Platinum does not have a so-called "metal memory" like gold and silver, which means that once the piece of jewellery has been processed, no further changes will occur. Therefore, platinum provides maximum security for diamonds and precious stones.
