Its strength ideally secures diamonds and other precious gems. Platinum's subtle beauty enhances a stone's brilliance and depth. And man has very clearly understood the close relationship between the two metals so much so that the world's famous diamonds, including the Hope, Jonker I and Koh-i-Noor, have been secured till today, by the permanence of platinum.

With its unique qualities and understated look, it blends superbly with the present trends... Whether inspired by classic or contemporary themes, platinum jewellery is perfect for any occasion under the sun, moon or stars...and has taken over the stage. It fills a starring role in jewellery ranging from the most exclusive and important event to a more casual moment, and can be worn comfortably with everything and at any time of the day. Being one of the world's most durable metals, platinum is ideal for jewellery worn daily, since it exhibits little or no material loss, even after prolonged wear. Even after many years, platinum will not wear away or wear down. For example, after many years of wear, a gold wedding bangles will wear down and become thinner. This is not the case with platinum. As with other precious metals like gold, silver, etc., platinum can be scratched. However, with platinum, there is actually no material lost from the scratch as there is with gold. If your platinum jewelry becomes scratched, simply take it to your jeweler for a quick polish.

Platinum jewellery contains much more precious metal than an identical piece of jewellery in gold. To create white gold, yellow gold is alloyed with copper and silver along with small amounts of nickel and zinc to achieve a white look. However, it does not have the same purity, strength, rarity, durability or natural white colour as platinum. Because platinum is so pure, hence it is hypoallergenic and can be worn continuously without losing its luster. In America, platinum jewellery contains either 90% or 95% pure platinum. By comparison, 18 carat gold is 75% pure and 14 carat is 58% pure gold. Platinum will never tarnish or lose its rich white luster. Platinum jewellery marked "Iridplat" contains 90% platinum and 10% iridium. When marked "Plat," an item is at least 95% platinum, with 5% ruthenium. Ten tons of ore must be mined to produce a single ounce of platinum. It takes five months to process platinum ore into pure platinum. Only after this time can skilled hands work their creativity and craftsmanship, transforming platinum into pieces of wearable art.
