>Platinum Jewelry Properties, Facts
Written by admin on January 11, 2009>
Platinum is a rare precious metal that’s used to create fine jewelry. Its heavy weight and durability make platinum a metal that will not wear away with constant use. Platinum holds fine gemstones firmly in place for the life of the jewelry when used as prongs and other setting components.
Platinum’s natural white luster provides a rich backdrop for diamonds, but it’s a metal that’s just as elegant when used all by itself to create a piece of jewelry, either a simple polished item or a design with engraved motifs. Platinum looks stunning when combined with contrasting touches of 18K yellow gold.
