Platinum Jewelry Guide | Fiorese Pt950 Tips, Care & Iconic Designs
When it comes to precious metals in jewelry, platinum has always stood out for its rare beauty, unique luster, and enduring strength. Known as the "king of metals," platinum has captivated artisans and jewelry lovers for centuries. At Fiorese, we carefully select Pt950 platinum—a premium alloy containing 95% pure platinum—for many of our fine jewelry creations. Its superior purity and durability make it the perfect choice for setting diamonds and colored gemstones, ensuring both security and brilliance for a lifetime.
Platinum's Rich History
Platinum has been treasured for thousands of years. From ancient Egypt and pre-Columbian Central America to the royal courts of 18th-century France, platinum has always symbolized prestige. In the 20th century, platinum cemented its place as the preferred choice of luxury houses and high jewelry, admired for its timeless elegance.

Why Choose Platinum for Jewelry?
Advantages
-
Durability: Platinum is softer than 14K gold, making it more prone to scratches and small dents. However, unlike gold, when platinum is scratched the metal is merely displaced rather than lost—so its weight and volume remain intact. Over time, platinum develops a natural patina that many consider a mark of vintage charm, while still keeping gemstones secure in their settings. Fiorese's Pt950 platinum ensures strength and security for everyday wear.
-
Hypoallergenic: Naturally hypoallergenic, platinum is perfect for sensitive skin.
-
Timeless Luster: Platinum's bright, naturally white sheen never fades or requires rhodium plating.
-
Rarity: Scarcer than gold, platinum is a symbol of exclusivity and true luxury.

Drawbacks
-
Higher Cost: Because of its rarity and complexity to refine, platinum jewelry is more expensive than gold.
-
Heavier Weight: Its density makes platinum jewelry feel more substantial, which some may find less suited for delicate designs.
-
Challenging to Work With: Platinum requires master-level craftsmanship—something Fiorese artisans have perfected with Pt950 platinum.
