950 Platinum

Josephine Leroy works with 950 platinum for his jewellery. Platinum is as rare as no other precious metal. Mostly platinum is 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 use only natural gemstones that are cut to size in a complex process and sorted by hand in a multi-stage 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. In order to fit the stones into a circle, 18 stones must be found that differ as little as possible in appearance. This requires a very well trained eye, which can detect the finest differences. When the stones are assembled for a circle, they are carefully placed by hand into the setting 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 concise colour are the characteristics which correspond to our quality standard.

The typical colour of a garnet is orange to yellow, green, brown, violet, pink or even black transparent. It is available in all shades. Garnet is a rather durable stone with a hardness of 7 to 7.5 on the hardness scale. As already mentioned, a necklace made of garnets was found in a grave of a young man. It dates back to 3000 BC and testifies to the durability of the stone. Garnet is actually the name of a family of ten different gemstones with a similar chemical structure, which includes a variety of colours, from red to orange to yellow, green, brown, violet, pink or even black. The main differences between the stones are slight variations in color, density and refractive index.
