Pure History
Platinum's
origins in jewellery go back nearly 2,000 years to the pre-Columbian
Indian civilisations of South America. Its modern tradition
begins with the European court jewellers of the 18th century
and extends to the exquisite creations of the great jewellers
of the Edwardian era and the Art Deco period. Today, it is
used by jewellers around the world with skill and inspiration
to create dazzling innovations in jewellery technique
and design.
Contrast the shimmering brilliance of gem-set rings and pure
platinum necklaces with the subdued satin finish and technical
virtuosity of contemporary designers. Or compare the ice and
fire of platinum and gold combinations with the novel mixtures
of materials and forms from elite celebrity jewellers. Platinum
jewellery, its image, its design and its heritage are all
yours.
