Platinum & Other Metals

Platinum has many benefits that make it a desirable material for fine jewelry. With a silvery white finish, platinum enhances the appearance of diamonds. Known as one of the most pure and precious metals used for jewelry making, platinum is a luxurious metal with a greater longevity than gold or silver. When platinum is scratched, it does not lose any metal and will not wear with time.

All platinum jewelry sold on Anjolee has the platinum 950 mark which means it is 95.2% pure platinum combined with other alloys such as cobalt 2.8% and copper 2.0%. When comparing to 18k white gold, platinum is similar in appearance but will weigh more and have a higher durability due to the softness and purity of 18k gold. Platinum is used for all jewelry types including bridal rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings. To help preserve the look of your platinum jewelry, you should regularly use a soft cloth as a buffer to keep it looking shiny. When storing your platinum jewelry, keep it separate from other pieces to avoid scratching. Storing it in a soft cloth bag or individual jewelry box is preferred.
