A
platinum engagement ring for the woman you love when you ask her to
marry you is the ultimate expression of the depth of your love. A platinum
engagement ring will make her feel as precious as platinum – the
most precious of all precious metals.
Platinum engagement rings are designed and crafted by expert jewelers,
adept in working with this magnificent and costly metal. Platinum
was first used in jewelry design by famed jewelry designer Louis
Cartier who twinned the metal with precious and semi-precious stones
to create wearable works of art. With its beautiful silvery sheen,
platinum is sometimes mistaken for silver or white gold, but it
most definitely is not silver or white gold.
Tourmaline, aquamarine and sapphire engagement
rings are often crafted using platinum
to set off the unusual gemstones. A cluster of beautiful sapphire
engagement rings sparkling blue and silver in the jeweler’s
window will take your breathe away. Platinum engagement rings
are a unique alternative to diamond and yellow gold engagement
rings.
About platinum
Platinum, a
white metal element, is extremely rare and found in only a few
places in the world, including South Africa. Its rarity, purity
and exclusivity are what make it so costly and desirable. Compared,
for instance to white gold, which varies between 33 and 75 percent
purity, platinum is a staggering 95 percent pure. No wonder it
is so sought after by lovers of fine jewelry, jewelers and artists.
Platinum, being so hard-wearing, is also used in the automotive,
chemical and electrical engineering industries. Platinum is stronger
and less abrasive than other metals and is generally hypoallergenic
which has made it increasingly popular for body piercing
by those who can afford it. It’s
also perfect for engagement rings, promise rings and wedding
and betrothal gifts that will last a lifetime. Whether you
buy an engagement
ring in platinum, or indulge in unusual platinum
necklaces or bracelets, you can be sure you will be able
to pass it down as an heirloom from generation to generation,
secure in the knowledge it will never lose its luster or
beauty. As a familygift, platinum will last more than one
lifetime. When
you make your most precious promise, give her something special
like a platinum engagement ring.
