Platinum 950: The Metal That Never Needs Plating

Platinum 950 Singapore Chain Necklace

Platinum is used at 95 per cent purity, far higher than any gold alloy. It is denser and heavier than gold, and it is naturally white, so it never needs plating.

How to read the mark

Look for 950, struck at the London Assay Office. The mark is struck by an independent assay office, not by the maker, so it is the one part of a piece of jewellery you do not have to take on trust.

Living with it

Platinum does not tarnish and does not lose metal when it is scratched: the surface moves rather than wears away, building a soft patina. A jeweller can polish it back to bright whenever you like.

Who it suits

It is the metal for a piece that will be worn every day for life, and it is the kindest to sensitive skin.
