Platinum is the rarest and most precious of metals, which makes it a fabulous choice for jewelry you’ll wear on life’s most special occasions. But did you know that the extraordinary qualities of platinum also mean that it’s uniquely suited for wear every day?
For example, platinum is very durable for daily wear. The secret? The purity of the metal. In the United States, platinum jewelry has to meet ISO* standards, which means it is made using only high-purity platinum (85-95%).
To compare, 14 karat gold only has 58.5% gold in its composition. 18 karat gold has 75%. This means that while platinum may seem more expensive as an initial investment, if you’re wearing it every day, you can expect fewer repairs, which makes it an excellent value over time. The purity of platinum also makes it hypoallergenic, so if your skin becomes more sensitive – during pregnancy for instance, or any other life change – it’s always a safe choice.
Then there’s the beautiful patina that develops on platinum over the years, in response to daily contact and movement. The more you wear platinum, the deeper its luster.
