In this article our store specialists will tell you about the history, properties of this metal and products made of platinum.
Platinum history
Natural platinum and platinum alloys are known for many centuries. This metal was successfully used from the times of pre-Columbian America. As for Europe, here platinum was firstly mentioned in 1557 in the notes of famous Italian humanist July Cesar Skaliger: he describes the mysterious metal found in Central American mines between Panama and Mexico. The word “platinum” comes from Spanish and means “silver”.
The biggest deposits of platinum were found in South Africa, which produces over 80 % of the total amount of crop in the world. Russia and Canada are also among the leaders. The native platinum is found 30 times less often than native gold.
Properties of Platinum
Platinum is a very rare metal, that’s why it’s often associated with wealth and luxury. The most important property of this material is its durability – during the processing any metal wears out, in other words, reducing its volume. As for platinum, its volume is permanent. White and yellow gold jewelry pieces get worn out and you need to repair them by replacing the worn out part with new metal. However, thins are very different with platinum – it doesn’t wear out, it’s practically timeless.
Platinum Jewelry
Exclusiveness, rarity, amazing shining and durability make this noble metal perfect for the production of luxurious jewelry items. Platinum jewelry is well-known for many years; however it became widespread only after platinum deposits were found in Kimberly in South Africa. Cartier and Tiffany jewelry manufacturers were the first to introduce platinum-rimmed diamonds. Since then this combination of precious stone and noble metal has become the most favourite one. This combination is the primary one in the production of engagement and wedding rings.
Stylists at our store say there’s nothing more attractive for a woman than platinum jewelry with diamonds. We love these embellishments for their durability and, except for that, diamonds look much better in platinum, mixed with the glow of this metal they seem to shine much more. Platinum jewelry have become very fashionable – it’s the best way to boast with your money.
