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 Fine Gold Chains
A fine gold chain is a foundational fine-jewelry piece — worn alone for understated elegance or as the carrier for pendants. Chain construction varies dramatically in durability and visual character: curb, Figaro, and Cuban styles are robust enough for daily wear and pendant-carrying; herringbone, snake, and box chains offer flatter, more reflective surfaces best suited for solo wear; rope chains balance both. Every chain we sell carries a hallmark identifying the metal purity (10K, 14K, 18K) and is finished with a secure clasp matched to the chain weight.
