Platinum
Platinum, compared to other precious metals is extremely rare, just like a 70th wedding anniversary. The total amount of platinum that is mined annually is 15 times less than that of gold and 100 times less than that of silver. Platinum is the most expensive, the most prestigious metal used in jewellery. Platinum doesn’t corrode, discolour, fade or lose shape with time and as one of the hardest jewellery metals, it is ideal for setting diamonds and other gemstones. Platinum has been used in jewellery for over 5000 years, it can be traced back to ancient Egypt. It is the ultimate symbol of true, enduring, and everlasting love.
