| Mother Nature makes platinum white. Since she's an uncontested design genius we leave well enough alone. Never bleached or dyed, platinum never tarnishes or discolors. 95% pure: While 14 karat gold is 58.5% pure gold and 18 karat gold is 75% pure, most platinum sold in the US is 90-95% pure. Platinum's strength and density greatly slow the wear and tear process, making it the metal of choice for holding diamonds and other precious stones. Worth the weight: A six-inch cube of platinum weighs 165 lbs. As much as the average groom. There's a wonderfully luxurious feel to the weight - solid, significant, and valuable. Skin friendly: Platinum is hypoallergenic. Good news for people with allergies to nickel, often found in gold and white gold. Rare commodity: It takes ten tons of ore and eight weeks to produce one ounce of platinum. In fact, only 150 tons of platinum is produced yearly, a precious few to gold's 2,200 tons. Platinum is so rare, all the world's supply would only fill your living room. The perfect marriage: Today, 40% brides and grooms are purchasing rings with platinum for five reasons: it's secure, lasting, unique, modern and gorgeous. Among them, Madonna, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Brooke Shields, Jennifer Flavin, Courtney Cox, and Ashley Judd. Fashion strides: Platinum's lustrous color and understated elegance make it pure inspiration to top fashion designers. Armani's platinum thread camisole recently hit the runway in Milan. While Italian shoe company Superga has made a pair of tennis shoes with platinum thread. |
