Platinum Rings

Platinum is the ideal metal for jewellery because its

• Naturally White - Diamonds look best in the white lustre of platinum
• Pure 95% pure when used in jewellery. Does not discolour or tarnish. Ideal for sensitive skin
• Strong 37% Denser than 18k gold. Highly resistant to wear.

Platinum can be found in the settings of the world's most famous diamonds: The Star of Africa, The Hope, and The Koh-I-Noor.

Platinum is also incredibly pliable. One gram can be drawn in a fine wire to a remarkable distance of nearly two kilometers—a quality used to spectacular effect in the courts of King Louis XVI and Tsar Nicholas, whose ladies wore gowns woven with platinum thread. This unusual partnership—strength and pliability—are due to platinum's incredibly high melting point (almost double that of gold) and has always made the metal a difficult one to master.
