Metal Type Description Facts

950 Platinum

Platinum is one of the rarest elements in the Earth's crust and has an average abundance of approximately 5 μg/kg. It is the least reactive metal. It occurs in some nickel and copper ores along with some native deposits, mostly in South Africa, which accounts for 80% of the world production.
  • Platinum is generally non-reactive.
  • Remarkable resistance to corrosion.
  • It is not as toxic as some metals.
  • Platinum is an extremely rare metal.

  • Palladium is lighter in weight.
  • Does not tarnish in the air.
  • Very rare but affordable metal.

18ct White Gold

  • Gold is thought of as a soft metal.
  • Gold comes in 22k, 18k, 14k or 10k (karat).

18ct Rose Gold

Rose gold is a gold and copper alloy widely used for specialized jewellery. It is also known as pink gold and red gold. As it was popular in Russia at the beginning of the nineteenth century, it is also known as Russian gold, however, this term is now obsolete.
  • A common formulation for red gold is 50% gold and 50% copper.
