Platinum

Platinum

Platinum has a hallmark of 950 which means there is 95% of palladium and added alloy of 5% this can usually be ruthenium

Platinum is the strongest precious metal used in jewellery, however, it can still incur scratches and develop a patina of wear. The patina (a satin sheen that develops on the surface of a ring produced by daily wear and tiny scratches) is considered by many to be a unique and often desirable attribute, however, the shine and reflective lustre can easily be restored by any jeweller at any time.
