Understanding This Piece
About Platinum
Platinum is naturally white, hypoallergenic, and the densest precious metal used in fine jewelry — typically 95% pure (versus gold's 58.3% for 14K or 75% for 18K). It holds diamonds more securely than any gold alloy, never tarnishes, and develops a soft patina over years of wear that many buyers prize. Platinum costs roughly 1.5–2x equivalent 14K white gold but eliminates the rhodium-replating cycle and carries the strongest long-term durability of any setting metal. It is the standard for premium engagement rings and eternity bands.
About Beaded Necklaces
Beaded fine-jewelry necklaces string individual round gold (or gemstone) beads on a flexible cord — creating a soft, drape-y silhouette with a distinctive surface texture. Gold-bead necklaces are particularly versatile day-to-evening pieces and lend themselves to layering with chain styles. Pearl strands and bead-set gemstone strands also fall within this construction category.
