Platinum is a much preferred metal of choice in diamond jewelry. The metal gained popularity since the eighteenth century when owing to its rarity King Louis XV of France declared that it was the only metal fit for a king. Symbolized by Pt, this metal is stronger than gold and silver in its purest form. The term platinum comes from the Spanish word platina which means ‘little silver'.

In its purest form, the metal is grey-white in color. It is also an important investment vehicle, as many countries like US, Canada, Australia and China mint platinum coins for purchasing as investments. The main properties that make platinum special are its purity, rarity, versatility and durability. Platinum, though expensive, is highly durable and suitable for all types of skins. Its purity ranges from 99.9% to 99.5% in acceptable standards.
