PLATINUM 950

The turntable IN DETAILS

950 thousandths platinum - also called 950 platinum - is 95% pure platinum and 5% other metals, particularly copper, to give it strength and solidity. Its finesse and authenticity, coupled with a blend of white and silver colors, give it an intense radiance that makes it unique among jewelers.

To identify a platinum piece, a hallmark is affixed to the jewel. It was this hallmark that inspired the designer to name Poinçon 22. In France, there have been over 5,000 different hallmarks since the Middle Ages. For platinum, it can take the form of a dog's head or a 950 representing 95% pure platinum.

• Platinum 950 is appreciated in jewelry because it is totally rustproof. This means it doesn't tarnish over time, keeps its lustre and doesn't yellow. It is therefore preferred towhite gold for certain creations.
• Platinum's composition makes it a hypoallergenic metal, minimizing the risk of allergies. It is therefore perfectly suited to all skin types, even the most sensitive.

• Platinum scratches faster than gold. So don't worry if your jewel gets a few scratches over time - that's what makes it so precious.
• Softer than gold, platinum is more easily damaged, making it unsuitable for dizzy spirits... If this is your case, gold jewelry will be your best friend!

JEWELRY CARE

Of course, platinum is the material of choice for jewelry because of its solidity, but that doesn't make it unbreakable. In everyday life, take care of your jewelry by protecting it from toxic substances such as perfume, creams, chlorine, etc., but also by removing it when you are involved in sports or manual activities.

Poinçon 22 jewelry likes to be pampered. The more you take care of your jewelry, the better it will be with you throughout your life.
