Platinum has been attracting people ever since it was first used in jewelry making. But the rarity and high cost does not fit everyone's pocket and hence people have to step backward. Today platinum is available almost everywhere but since people are unable to afford these; the production of platinum jewelry is less. Making of birthstone bracelets does not always make use of platinum. Birthstone bracelets are mostly for healing and the use of metals like gold, platinum and silver makes the effect of such charms even more powerful. You might have observed very few people wearing platinum birthstone jewelries and the main reason for this is its high cost.
Platinum jewelries do not corrode easily and also the color does not fade unlike gold and sterling silver. The use of white gold electroplated with rhodium led to the use of platinum jewelries. White gold is not actually as white as people see because natural white gold is not as sparkly as you see it. Rhodium is a shiny metal which is used to make the white gold more attractive and due to time might wear off and reveal the original color of the gold.
Birthstone bracelets might not always contain the small hanging charms. The birthstone bracelets do have some healing powers and the metal used with these birthstones enhances the power of the bracelets and gives the wearer protection. These days birthstone bracelets are sold without using the real gems and hence they have no effectiveness and sometimes they are sold to anyone who wants to buy without proper advice from an astrologer.
