Platinum jewellery

Platinum is about 30 times rarer than gold and thus a very rare raw material that can only be found in selected places on earth. It takes almost eight weeks before only 31 grams of platinum remain after 10 tonnes of ore have been mined. In comparison, only three tonnes of ore are mined for gold to obtain 31 grammes. This therefore shows the big price jump from jewellery made of gold to jewellery made of platinum. Moreover, platinum is chemically denser and therefore heavier.

Jewellery that contains at least 50 % platinum is usually stamped. The stamp tells you how pure your jewellery is. An example would be a stamp marked "plat850" or "pt850", which means that your jewellery is 85% pure. At Pukka Berlin, we use 950 platinum, which is the highest form of purity commonly used for jewellery.

If you choose platinum jewellery from Pukka Berlin, you will receive a uniform 950 platinum alloy. This is the highest alloy of platinum that is usually used in jewellery. We place great value on quality and want you to have a long-lasting piece of jewellery as a companion in all situations.

Impacts are often unavoidable in everyday use, but with a platinum ring there is no significant loss of material. You get a piece of jewellery that remains permanently beautiful and is ideal as an heirloom for generations. Due to its harder material than gold, platinum scratches the surface relatively quickly, but this does not detract from the beauty of your piece of jewellery. In the long term, a piece of platinum jewellery can also be refreshed with a rhodium coating.
