Platinum earrings - why buy fashion platinum jewellery?

Since it has recently been worn by some celebrities like Halle Berry, platinum has been declared the new fashionable metal for jewellery. So if you want to look like your fashion icon, platinum earrings is the perfect buy.

Platinum has been discovered about 3000 years ago by the ancient Egyptians; it was extremely prized by the South Americans Incas and Egyptians for its beauty, purity and rarity.

France's Louis XVI proclaimed it the only metal fit for royalty. And well renowned jewellers such as Cartier, Faberge and Tiffany created their most famous designs in platinum. It is also the most famous of the three nobles' metals gold, silver and platinum thanks to its rarity. Effectively gold is mined 15 times more than platinum every year. That is why platinum is the most precious metal and probably the most expensive one too.

Your platinum earrings will certainly be an alloy of platinum with iridium, palladium, ruthenium, rhodium, and osminium. Often, jewellery pieces are made of 90% platinum and 10% iridium used as a hardener and it also give the metal a bright hard finish.

Platinum is also fantastic for people with sensitive skin as it has hypoallergenic properties. It is also known as one of the strongest metal because it doesn't tarnish with time.

If you feel like you deserve a bit of luxury why will not you buy some platinum earrings incrusted with beautiful diamonds. The glow of the diamond complements perfectly the white reflection of the platinum.

To ensure the beauty of your platinum earrings, try not to wear them while doing hard work or practising sports. Clean them in a bowl of warm water and add a dip of mild detergent. Then Brush them gently with a soft brush and dry them with a cloth. Finally store them in their original velvet pouch.
