Platinum
Platinum is a brilliantly white metal with excellent wear- and tarnish-resistance characteristics. For these reasons it has gained greatly in popularity for Designer Jewellery in recent years. It is, however, very expensive - although the price of platinum fluctuates with its changing availability, it normally costs slightly less than twice the price of gold. In the 1700s, the rarity of platinum made King Louis XV of France declare it the only metal fit for a king. It is 30 times rarer than gold – if all the platinum in the world were poured into one Olympic swimming pool, it would only just be deep enough to cover your ankles!
