Platinum has been widely used in jewellery since the start of the 20th century. It was primarily used in the first instance in settings of jewellery, accentuating the whiteness of diamonds and the bold colours of gemstones.
The perfect metal to show off intricate new designs, it allowed openwork detailing and fine details were able to be crafted. Many platinum pieces, from sapphires necklaces to diamond brooches showcase the platinum lace and millegrain detailing that was popular in the Edwardian era.
Platinum jewellery was especially popular in the Art Deco era and provided the perfect backdrop to highlight colours and accentuate fabulous monochrome designs. Often paired with pearls, onyx and diamonds in statement pieces such as bracelets and jabot pins, platinum jewellery is synonymous with this era.
