950 platinum plating

Josephine Leroy works with a 950 platinum plating for his jewellery. The high layer thickness guarantees a long durability.

Platinum is as rare as no other precious metal. Platinum is usually offered in the alloy 950. This alloy consists of 95% platinum and 5% of a metal admixture and is particularly hard and resistant. Due to its exceptional toughness, there is virtually no abrasion on the jewellery pieces - the material merely shifts sideways. Moreover, hardly any other material can hold stones as securely as platinum.

Description

We only use natural gemstones which are cut to size in a complex process and sorted by hand in a multi-level selection process.

After the first multiple sorting, the stones are cut and polished into a brilliant shape, then they are sorted again according to size, colour and purity.

To build the stones into a circle, 36 stones have to be found which differ optically as little as possible. This requires a very well trained eye, which can detect the smallest differences.

When the stones are assembled for a circle, they are carefully placed in the setting by hand and fixed like a diamond.

As a rule, a maximum of 1% of the respective raw stone can be used for our precious objects. To achieve the highest possible quality, all work is done by hand and by experienced specialists.

As few foreign inclusions as possible and a striking colour are the characteristics which correspond to our quality standard.

The typical colour is white transparent. It is available in all shades.

For over 120 years, the Swarovski company has been cutting crystals with perfect precision. The family business was founded in 1895 by the visionary founder Daniel Swarovski and can now look back on a long series of successful cooperations with craftsmen. Only the best materials are used in the production of Swarovski® crystals. Quartz, minerals and sand are processed into genuine crystal in an elaborate process. The exact formula is a trade secret that Daniel Swarovski® left to his heirs. With this formula and a new type of grinding machine, he was the first to produce the finest crystal that sparkles like diamonds. Since then, Swarovski® has repeatedly achieved new breakthroughs in the crystal industry: One example is the Platinum Pro Similisation, which makes crystals resistant to environmental influences and mechanical processes of processing (e.g. soldering). This guarantees the premium quality and high brilliance of Swarovski® stones
