The Elegance of Platinum Jewellery

A natural precious metal, platinum is often overshadowed by its popular counterpart, gold. What people are usually not aware of is that pure platinum is 90% to 95% pure. The purest platinum used in jewellery can be up to 999 PT, meaning that 999 parts of the mix are platinum, making it one of the purest combinations of metal.

Platinum is celebrated not just for its purity but also for its elegance and strength. Platinum jewellery can also be a great option for those with sensitive skin, as this precious metal is hypoallergenic. A well-crafted platinum piece can last for generations, making it an excellent gift.

 

Setting a Diamond: The Art of Perfection

When a stone is fixed into a jewellery piece, a specific 'setting' method will be used. Popular setting methods, especially for diamonds, include claw, pave, and bezel setting. Each method involved excruciating attention to detail and thorough expertise.

The type of setting in a statement piece, like a classic platinum bracelet for men, decides how the stone shines. For example, the setting of a diamond in an everyday-use platinum bracelet will be different from that of a special pendant set.

The claw setting, also known as the prong setting, is often found in engagement rings. Small metal claws hold up precious stones, allowing light to enter the bottom of the stone, making them shine and glimmer.

The bezel setting, on the other hand, forms a structure around the embedded stone, ensuring robustness. Often found in jewellery with oval, round gems and precious stones, the bezel setting is one of the oldest setting methods used in jewellery making.

Make sure that you are aware of which type of setting is used in your diamond jewellery. The type of setting technique can be a crucial factor that decides the longevity and robustness of the piece.

Crafting Platinum Diamond Bracelets

The crafting of pure platinum bracelets is done using lost-wax casting—in simple terms, a wax mould of the desired design is made, and molten platinum is poured into the mould. This method yields perfectly crafted platinum jewellery that can be crafted with extremely minute details.

Another speciality of platinum is that it is often used for invisible setting techniques. The nature of platinum allows it to act as an invisible structure, holding multiple stones in place without being visible. Next time you see an eye-catching men's diamond bracelet, remember that it could be a platinum structure holding all the diamonds together effortlessly!

 

The Bottom Line

Platinum jewellery is synonymous with elegance and makes the perfect choice for gifting your loved ones. Platinum pieces embedded with precious stones like diamonds can make your loved one shine brighter!
