Platinum & Palladium
Platinum It was probably first used in Ancient Egypt around 3000 BC. Platinum has a high density and is a precious, malleable, ductile, grey-white, corrosion-resistant noble metal and transition metal. Platinum is used in the manufacture of jewellery, Dental implants, vehicle catalytic converters and laboratory equipment.
Platinum is very rare, which is why only small quantities are mined each year.
Palladium is a rare, silvery-white precious metal and belongs to the platinum group of metals. Its chemical behaviour is very similar to that of platinum. Palladium is used in the manufacture of catalytic converters, jewellery, white gold (palladium “discolours“ gold) and dental prostheses.
Whether it is because platinum is not all that common or because of the distinctive appearance of this transitional precious metal, platinum jewellery remains very popular. Necklaces, pendants and even earrings crafted from this material are a real feast for the eyes.
It is also very pleasing that this precious metal does not tarnish, thanks to its resistance to corrosion.
It is not just the ancient Egyptians They were thrilled at the time, and so are we!
As mentioned earlier, only small quantities of this material can be obtained, so we are delighted to receive any additional supply of it, in whatever form.
Palladium is just as rare as platinum and is also classified as one of the so-called platinum group metals, as its chemical behaviour is quite similar to that of platinum. It is a silvery-white precious metal.
