The Allure of Platinum Jewelry

Platinum, often referred to as the “noble metal,” exudes an unmatched beauty and sophistication. Its naturally white luster complements any gemstone, making it a popular choice for both modern and vintage designs, including its use for premium platinum chains. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, platinum boasts several advantages that set it apart from other precious metals.

Advantages of Platinum Jewelry

1. Durability and Longevity: Platinum is renowned for its durability and resistance to tarnish, making it a jewelry choice that stands the test of time. It’s ideal for everyday wear, retaining its shine and form even after years of use.

2. Hypoallergenic Properties: For individuals with sensitive skin or metal allergies, platinum is an excellent choice. It is hypoallergenic and won’t cause any skin irritation or allergic reactions.

3. Purity and Rarity: 950 grade platinum signifies a high level of purity, containing 95% pure platinum. Its rarity adds to its allure, making it a symbol of exclusivity and luxury.

4. Weight and Comfort: Since platinum is denser, it will be approx. 60% heavier than 14k gold, but is surprisingly comfortable to wear, especially when it comes to jewelry such as wedding bands, chain necklaces or pendants like platinum crucifix pendants. This characteristic makes it a preferred choice for premium, heirloom quality jewelry.

Understanding 950 Grade Platinum

The term “950 grade” denotes the purity of the platinum used in crafting jewelry. A piece labeled as 950 platinum consists of 95% pure platinum and 5% other alloys. This high purity level ensures that the platinum engagement rings, wedding bands and fine jewelry maintains its brilliance and durability while being suitable for a wide array of designs.

Why Platinum Jewelry Doesn’t Need Rhodium Plating

Unlike white gold, which often requires rhodium plating to achieve its white appearance, platinum maintains its natural white hue without the need for any plating. This feature makes platinum wedding bands and jewelry an excellent choice for those seeking a low-maintenance yet stunning option.

Platinum vs. White Gold: A Superior Choice

While both platinum and white gold are popular choices for fine jewelry, platinum holds a distinct edge. Platinum is denser, heavier, and more durable than white gold. It doesn’t wear away or tarnish, ensuring that your piece remains as radiant as the day you first wore it. Additionally, platinum’s natural white color won’t fade over time, giving it a timeless elegance.

Investing in platinum jewelry from Apples of Gold Jewelry is a decision marked by sophistication, durability, and unparalleled beauty. Whether you’re drawn to the allure of platinum cross pendants, the elegance of platinum chains, the symbolism of platinum crucifix pendants, or the promise of everlasting love with our platinum engagement rings and platinum wedding bands, you’re choosing a piece of artistry that will adorn your life for generations to come.
