About Karat Platinum

What is Karat Platinum?

Karat Platinum™ and 14 Karat Platinum® are brand names for a revolutionary new alloy 58.5% pure platinum combined with 41.5% cobalt/copper. This remarkable alloy is indistinguishable in beauty, luster, and durability from conventional 95% pure platinum. Its unprecedented flexibility allows the creation of a full line of elegant jewelry – at half the cost of conventional platinum.

Quality

Extraordinarily rare, platinum is one of the world's most precious metals. Since Karat Platinum™ is platinum it looks, feels and has the same radiant sheen as 950/50 platinum. In rigorous laboratory corrosion and abrasion tests designed to check for tarnishing, Karat Platinum™ actually outperformed conventional 950/50 platinum, emerging from the tests without colorations or stains. Like conventional platinum, Karat Platinum™ is hypoallergenic and ideal for those with sensitive skin.

Color

Karat Platinum™ is identical in color to 950/50 platinum and brighter than white gold. A major difference is that white gold achieves its whiteness through an alloy or plating process, and it may need replating to retain its color. Karat Platinum™ is a natural white metal that maintains its luster and beauty forever.

Care

Cleaning Karat Platinum™ jewelry with mild, soapy warm water suffices to maintain the metal's shine and polish. As with other fine jewelry, it should be stored in a fabric-lined box. Do not wear platinum while doing rough work, and avoid contact with harsh chemicals. If platinum becomes scratched or a patina begins to develop, a jeweler can restore the original lustrous surface.
