The Canadian champ/on, Tuesday, February 10, 1998 -15 V-3 Breakthrough Technology Makes Platinum Affordable (PX) - As the new century approaches, the mood of fashion is chanqinq, and eleqance is back. Stylîsh women today lke the look of platinum for its cool beauty and fIat- tering color. They also prize the metai's durability and strength - particulariy for their engagement rings and diamond jeweiry. However, platinum's high cost and limited supply have put the beautiful metal out of their reach. Until now, ail platinum jewelry on the market was composed of 90 parts to 95 parts pure piatinum, making it very expensive. In con- trast, select retailers are introducing 114-Ktirat Piatinum (585 Platinum) with 58.5 parts pure piatinum - ailowing a considerabie savings of 33 percent for the consumer. This marks the first time since the advent of karat gold that there has been a breakthrough in a new metai for use in fine jewelry. Although the beauty and durability of gold and silver have been recog- nized since ancient times, platinum was one of the last precious metals to be discovered. First seen by Western eyes during the conquista- dores' invasions of South America, the beautiful metal was cailed «plata," meaning silver. However, it was thrown back into the rivers when the ex plorers reaiized it wasn't silver, but another, stronger metal. ln Europe during the l7th century, jewelers already were experiment- ing with platinum, but didn't use it w/th frequency until advanCes in technology during the 2th Century allowed them to meit it. Platinum more than made up for its late pop- ularity, however. During the Art Deco '20s, and the reign of the plat- inum blonde in the '30s, it was the metal of choice for precious jewelry - until World War Il put an end to its use by civilians. Hait a century passed before the beauty of plat- inum was rediscovered in the 1990S. Years of painstaking research have yielded a breakthrough in technolo- gy that for the first time allows man-. ufacturers to off er this most pre- cious of precious metals in a Choice of prices and Total Platinum Content (TPC). Thanks to these discoveries, everyone can enjoy al the benefits of this rare metal at one-third of the cost. Although only select retailers are carrying this new metal, people are sure to find i 4-Karat Platinum wherever the 585 stamp is displayed. Platinum offers today's women a stylish alternative to yeilow gold - with a look that hasn't been seen in decades.
