RAPAPORT… Fit for the Pharaohs, platinum was first discovered some 3,000 years ago by the Egyptians and it’s revered today for the same reasons as it was then. Its neutral white color enhances gemstones, especially diamonds. Becauseit is naturally white, the color won’t change. It is the heaviest of all metals, making it very durable, and its strength holds stones securely. It’s also tarnish resistant and hypoallergenic. In today’s world of the ever more discriminating luxury shopper, platinum is prized for its rarity and as the ultimate metal.
