The Secrets Of Platinum Jewellery

Platinum is the rarest of precious metals. It takes a lot of time and money to mine, refine and create beautiful jewellery with the shimmering white metal. In this article, we will explore this beautiful shimmering white metal so that you know what to look out for and why it might be the best choice for your next piece of fine jewellery.

A woman in love doesn't even know it, but platinum jewellery is the perfect gift. It's a token of affection, a symbol of commitment, a sign of devotion. How would she feel if someone gave her a beautiful platinum ring, necklace or bracelet? It would be an emotional expression of love, care and admiration.

Platinum has a history that goes back to the dawn of civilization. Still, for the past 100 years, it has been the king of precious metals, with a 99.99 per cent purity.

Platinum Jewellery: Jewellery With An Expensive Price Tag

There’s something about platinum that makes people feel a certain way. Whether it’s the fact that the metal is shiny, white and hard or the fact that the price tag is high, there are a few reasons why it’s so coveted. When it comes to jewellery, it’s almost the first thing people think of when they think of luxury items, says the MD of All Diamond. “It’s almost like you have a status symbol in your hand,” he says.

What is Platinum?

Platinum is one of the rarest metals on Earth. It's also one of the most expensive metals in the world, and only a small percentage of the platinum used is recycled. The price of platinum is constantly fluctuating due to supply and demand.

One of the first things you'll notice about platinum is that it's shiny. You can't see the colour of platinum until you hold it up to the light. That's because platinum is a very pure metal, and that's why it shines with a white yet metallic sheen. Sometimes confused with silver, the difference is apparent when silver is placed next to platinum.

Platinum is usually considered a precious metal because of its unique properties. Platinum is exceptionally resistant to corrosion, the densest precious metal. Its melting point is the highest of all metals at 3820 degrees centigrade. It was first discovered in South Africa, where 80% of platinum is mined. There are mines in other countries, with Russia producing 10% of global supply and South and North America producing most of the rest.

How Did Platinum Become the Jewellery Metal Of Choice?

When it comes to jewellery, platinum is a metal that can be used to make various products, from rings to necklaces and bracelets. It's also used for other purposes, such as making coins and commemorative medals. As a result of its unique and stunning properties, platinum is increasingly becoming the material of choice for jewellery designers.

According to the World Platinum Council, a global industry group, the use of platinum is growing at a rate of nearly 20% annually. It's not surprising then that in 2015 platinum was named the most desirable metal by jewellery experts for its strength, durability, and timeless appeal.

The Platinum Association researched that about half of all consumers say that the metal is a part of their personal style. As the price of gold goes up, the popularity of platinum jewellery increases.

The secret to platinum's success is its unique combination of beauty and durability. "Platinum is known as the king of all precious metals," says Dr James Denny, a professor of metallurgy at the University of Waterloo in Canada. "The reason why is because it is the most durable metal in the world."

How Much Does Platinum Cost?

Platinum is somewhat less expensive than gold as a raw material in many cases. However, because platinum is much harder to work with and takes much longer to manufacture than gold, the price of a piece of jewellery made in platinum will be higher than that of gold. For example, we sell this lovely ring in both platinum and gold.

The price of the platinum version is about 50% higher than in gold. Bear in mind that the gold ring is not pure gold, whereas the platinum version is 100% platinum. This makes the price difference, in real terms, less than you might expect. See the ring here.

Why Should You Buy Platinum Jewellery?

There are four main reasons why people buy platinum jewellery:

1. It's a status symbol. When you wear it, you make a statement about how much money you have and how successful you are.

2. It's a way to show off your love for someone. The person you love will appreciate the gesture.

3. It's a sign of prosperity. When you buy platinum jewellery, you're investing in yourself and your future.

4. Because platinum does not readily react with any other chemicals and, unlike gold or silver, it is almost totally pure when used in jewellery. This makes platinum extremely hypoallergenic and makes an excellent choice for people who have any skin sensitivities from contact with jewellery metals. 

The idea of buying platinum jewellery is pretty appealing. The allure is often the desire to stand out and be seen as the big spender. However, the problem with this is that we don't usually spend money to make a statement. Instead, we spend money because it makes us feel good. The "allure" of spending on platinum jewellery isn't really about buying something special, but instead, it's about the fact that you can afford it.

The idea of platinum jewellery can sound very expensive. However, there is nothing more luxurious than wearing a beautiful piece of jewellery that has been crafted from the highest quality material, like platinum. Platinum is one of the most durable precious metals in the world. It is known for being very resistant to chemical reactions making it a very safe metal to wear. However, platinum does have some limitations. First of all, it's pretty rare. It's found only in a few places on Earth, and it's becoming even scarcer. Secondly, its price is relatively high. As such, it can be difficult for many people to afford platinum jewellery.

However, there are some ways to enjoy the benefits of platinum jewellery without having to pay an arm and a leg. If you want to enjoy the luxury of this beautiful white metal's lustre then we can help you. We aim to provide high-quality fine jewellery at great value prices at All Diamond.
