Platiinum Jewelry
Once
regarded as a nuisance by Spaniards mining gold, platinum was cursed
because it was intertwined into the gold. In their understandable
ignorance, since it resembled silver in many ways it was named
“Platina” for “lesser silver” as less desirable than even silver of the
day. Platinum came to the jewelry bench
only after scientists and laboratories discovered its properties Such
properties as the high melting point were not interesting for the
jeweler to investigate. However, because platinum is not found in its
isolated form but rather naturally mixed in with gold, early pieces
would randomly sometimes contain a significant proportion.
One of the primary figures in the history of platinum was the French Goldsmith, Marc Etienne Janety. His
work stirred interest in platinum among jewelers perfecting a method of
processing platinum, enough to create precious objects such as a sugar
bowl today owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Then
in the 1800’s as gold mines offered platinum up, it was also gathered
and made into wonderful objects which entranced the kings of the time
by the new metal’s mysterious charms. Platinum was also a sought after
metal pounded into threads and embroidered into the gowns of women of
riches and royalty in Europe.
Cartier had the foresight and artistic aptitude to dare to create entire pieces made in platinum. As his business expanded into England and the United States, he produced traditional styles with this new precious metal. Platinum gave diamonds and other gems a whole new lighter look.
Today
Platinum is known as the most precious metal in the planet, it is
produced not only in fine jewelry but also in a more everyday area:
engagement and wedding rings. Platinum is symbolic of the precious nature, endurance, of marriage.
