Platinum Jewellery by Forum Jewellers

Platinum jewellery is prized not only for its stunning appearance but also for its exceptional quality and durability. Naturally white in colour, platinum has a beautiful lustre that enhances the brilliance of diamonds and coloured gemstones alike, making it one of the most sought-after precious metals for fine jewellery.

One of platinum's most distinctive characteristics is its weight. Significantly denser than gold, platinum feels substantial when worn, giving a reassuring sense of luxury, value and craftsmanship. Its strength and durability make it an excellent choice for engagement rings, wedding rings and jewellery designed to be treasured for a lifetime.

The Perfect Partner for Diamonds

Nothing showcases a diamond quite like platinum. Its naturally white colour complements the sparkle and fire of a diamond without affecting its appearance, helping gemstones look brighter and more brilliant. Platinum's exceptional strength also provides a secure setting for precious stones, helping to protect them for generations to come.

Platinum is one of the rarest precious metals on Earth, making it highly prized in jewellery design. In fact, it is significantly rarer than gold and requires extensive mining to produce even a small amount of usable metal.

Platinum jewellery is hallmarked according to its purity:

• 850 Platinum – 85% pure platinum
• 900 Platinum – 90% pure platinum
• 950 Platinum – 95% pure platinum
• 999 Platinum – 99.9% pure platinum

Many contemporary platinum jewellery designs are also combined with 18ct gold, creating beautiful contrasts between platinum's naturally white finish and the rich warmth of yellow or rose gold.

Pure, enduring and naturally white, platinum is a popular choice for wedding rings. Most platinum jewellery sold in the UK contains 95% pure platinum (950 Platinum). By comparison, 18ct gold contains 75% pure gold.

Unlike white gold, platinum does not require rhodium plating to maintain its colour. It will never tarnish and develops a soft, attractive patina over time that many people love. Its durability makes it perfectly suited to jewellery worn every day.

Your wedding flowers will fade and the cake will be enjoyed, but your wedding rings will remain as a lasting symbol of your commitment to one another. Choosing platinum wedding rings means choosing a precious metal that is designed to stand the test of time—just like your marriage.
