Although platinum appeared on the earth around 2 billion years ago, it had long been little known by the general public. It was not until the XVI century that it was discovered by the conquistadors who called it “platina” which means little silver in Spanish. Its properties, namely rarity, beauty, and resistance, just as the action of the kings and the scientists of the enlightenment that would make it so platinum would become more and more popular.
Like the majority of metals used in jewellery, platinum is an alloy. In other words, it is mixed with other elements to make the piece more solid. For your pieces of jewellery, and therefore your platinum wedding band for women. Also, you will find generally 95% of pure platinum mixed with 5% of idridium, of palladium or of ruthenium. These pieces of jewellery are marked "950" Plat or "Plat". This is an indication of their high quality.
