At Wave we are passionate about platinum jewellery, that's why have we have been selected as a preferred platinum retailer (by the Platinum Guild International website  ) 

It really is the best metal you can use to make jewellery, especially wedding and engagement rings, but don't take our word for it read on and we think you will agree the facts speak for themselves.

According to a recent survey of brides to be their favourite metal is Platinum and what good taste, not only is platinum the purest precious metal by far at 95% pure, where as 18 carat gold is 75% pure. Platinum is the rarest precious metal — 30 times more rare than gold — if you filled one Olympic sized swimming pool with all the platinum ever mined it would only come up to your ankles!

Platinum is also the best truly white metal, unlike white gold that has a warm colour and then is coated in a whiter metal called rhodium platinum is truly white through and through. Platinum is also much denser than other alternatives making it harder wearing and longer lasting; an especially good idea if setting a high value diamond. When you scratch or mark a platinum ring the metal is not removed but merely displaced — in other words a platinum ring bought today will still weigh the same in fifty years time in fact it will long outlast the wearer and many more generations to come. A piece of platinum jewellery really is an heirloom of the future.
