Platinum Jewellery

What's so special about platinum jewellery? There are many things that make platinum jewellery a favourable choice over other forms of jewellery

. Some are little known facts, while others may be more commonly known, but by taking a look at what sets platinum jewellery apart from the others will be able to help in your decision next time you are trying to figure out what kind of jewellery might be right for you or someone you know.

Did you know platinum is more unique than gold? As a matter of fact, there is almost fourty times as much gold in the world as there is platinum. That is why you will likely notice that when you go to a jewellery store, there is a much wider selection of gold jewellery than platinum.

Another quality that makes platinum unique is the fact that it actually gets harder the longer it is worn. It will continue to get stronger the longer you wear it, which is why it presents a great value over other, less durable metals. This can be an especially important factor when deciding on a wedding ring. This can give you the comfort of knowing that even 50 years later, the rings you exchanged on the day you were married will look the same.

Platinum jewellery also provides the added benefit of being hypo-allergenic. That means that even if someone's skin may be sensitive to certain materials, there will be no worry about any allergic reactions to a piece of platinum jewellery. There are also no additives to worry about with platinum. The way it comes out of the ground is the way it will stay. The pure white colour of the platinum does not need to be enhanced in any way.

You also don't have to worry about rusting. You can keep your platinum jewellery clean by soaking it in warm water and soap and then scrubbing it with a soft bristled brush without the worry of damaging your jewellery.

Platinum is a great base to accentuate the sparkle and colour of a diamond, while also providing a secure setting for the elegant stone. These are all reasons why platinum engagement rings have been so popular throughout the years, and have even been a great choice for gemstones other than diamonds as well.
