<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1329806, member: 22143&quot;]Platinum is never used in 100% pure form for jewelry for the same reasons as gold.&nbsp; The pure metal lacks the durability for it.&nbsp; It also tends to lose it&#039;s luster, often explained away as having a patina, which IMO, is why gold is much more preferred for jewelry making.&nbsp;&nbsp; While it&#039;s rare, platinum is simply not very attractive on its own which is the whole point of jewelry (i.e. no bling), or for that matter, coins as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
