Platinum Engagement Rings.
Platinum is the Rolls-Royce of precious metals and the metal of choice for diamond engagement rings, wedding rings, and wedding bands.
Some of the World's most beautiful diamonds such as The Hope Diamond and the Star of Africa are set in Platinum. Platinum consumption has risen by more than 700% since 1990. Platinum in its pure state is too soft to work and wear as jewelry and needs to be alloyed with another metal to harden it and improve its workability.
Two excellent alloys used by American manufacturers and jewlers are iridium and ruthenium.
It is interesting to note that standards differ from country to country with European standards differing a bit from those here in the States.
Jurgen Maerz, Technical Director of the Platinum Guild, USA has put together a very informative article on Platinum, its characteristics, effect of alloys on workability, and applications to the manufacture of jewlery. The article is here:What I didn't know about Platinum
Easy to read and understand, Consumers in the market for a Platinum Engagement Ring should take a few minutes to read this article and familiarize themselves with the King of Metals.
