The emergence of Platinum in the Jewellery Industry
The Egyptians and South American Indians used traces of platinum in gold and platinum pendants. In Ecuador, platinum termed as “platina” meant little silver. But the use of platinum in jewellery was not that common. Till 1880 silver ruled the jewellery market, as a white metal. It had lower melting points, was cheaper than gold, and was available in ample quantity. But it was not possible to encrust heavier diamonds in silver, as one can in platinum pendants. In 1890 the jewellery market changed. Cartier launched an iconic platinum jewellery piece in garland style. It had fine work, strong bonds, lacy design, and was light weight. Platinum pendants, chains, rings, bangles, and others now rule the jewellery industry.
