The Allure of Platinum: Uncovering Its Brilliance in Jewellery | Roberts & Co

The Elegance of Platinum in Jewellery

Among the multitude of precious metals used in jewellery, platinum holds a unique spot. Its distinct sheen and excellent durability make it a preferred choice for many. However, despite its allure, platinum pieces are relatively few in the world of jewellery. This scarcity only enhances its appeal, adding a layer of exclusivity to its already impressive portfolio.

The Appeal of Platinum

It's no secret that platinum has a unique appeal within the world of jewellery. Part of this allure stems from its inherent brilliance. Unlike other metals, platinum has a bright white sheen that remains untouched by time, never dulling or tarnishing. This permanence speaks to the metal's robustness—a symbol of endurance that resonates deeply with those looking for lasting treasures.

Another attribute that sets platinum apart is its durability. Known for its hard-wearing nature, platinum is resistant to damage and wear, making it an ideal choice for jewellery that will be worn every day, like wedding rings.

The scarcity of platinum only heightens its desirability. The fact that fewer jewellery pieces are made from platinum compared to gold or silver gives it a sense of exclusivity. This exclusivity, combined with its brilliance and durability, is why many jewellery enthusiasts are willing to pay a premium for platinum pieces. Their value is not merely in their price tag, but in the symbolism and aesthetics that the metal itself brings to each piece.

However, for those who prefer a more elaborate design, carved or facetted platinum rings are a popular choice. These rings employ the artistry of intricate carving or faceting, showcasing the creative potential and flexibility of platinum. These styles lend a unique texture and sparkle to the ring, adding to its appeal.

Platinum rings come with a higher price tag than their 22-carat gold counterparts. However, for many, the exceptional durability, unique aesthetic, and symbolic value of platinum make it worth the investment. After all, a wedding ring is more than just a piece of jewellery; it's a symbol of love and commitment, and what better way to represent that than with one of the Earth's rarest metals?
