Here’s what I know:
- Platinum jewelry is really amazing. Not many of us can afford it, but those who can must be quite proud of their little treasure.
- Platinum is one of the most valuable of precious metals. It is 30 times rarer than gold and it can be found only in a few places all over the world. No wonder platinum is so appreciated.
- In general, it has a purity of 95% pure (while 18 karat gold is only 75% pure) and guess what? It makes the perfect setting for diamonds … in engagement rings, of course! That’s because the brilliant white luster helps reflect the true radiance of diamonds like no other metal. Have a look:
- Due to its hardness, platinum is well suited for daily wear. It does not easily get scratched and will definitely enhance your appearance.
- Platinum’s purity makes it hypoallergenic and ideal for those with sensitive skin.
- To maintain the metal’s luster you have to soak it in a mild solution of soap and warm water and gently scrubbing it with a soft-bristled brush. This is usually all that is required in order to keep clean your platinum jewelry. And then enjoy wearing them…
