Platinum - Gold - Palladium - Mokume Gane
This photo shows my favorite quality of platinum. My customers agree: brazing platinum at 3200° Fahrenheit is not an everyday boring experience.
Most women hold platinum in high esteem, making it popular here. Platinum prongs hold diamonds more reliably, and need re-tipping less often.
Platinum engagement rings in stores are often plated with rhodium for whiteness. Rings worn daily have to be re-plated as they wear. I prefer the darker color of platinum and do not rhodium plate any jewelry. |
