Platinum: Pure Luxury for Bespoke Jewellery
Distinctive Prestige and Modern Refinement
At Sara Handmade Jewellery in Kiama, platinum is much more than a precious metal—it’s the embodiment of modern sophistication and quiet luxury. Admired worldwide for its rarity, natural white sheen, and enduring strength, platinum is an inspired choice for those who value both substance and style. Its luminous beauty and contemporary prestige make it a favourite for custom-made pieces that are destined to become family heirlooms.
Rarity, Purity & Platinum’s Enduring Qualities
Platinum is among the rarest elements on earth—over 25 times more rare than gold—making every platinum jewel an exclusive treasure. Used at 95% purity, platinum offers exceptional durability and naturally hypoallergenic properties, making it ideal for sensitive skin and daily wear.
Its dense, secure structure holds diamonds and precious stones more firmly than any other jewellery metal, giving lasting peace of mind. Unlike white gold, platinum never loses its rich colour or needs replating—its luster simply develops a unique, elegant patina over time.

Caring for Your Platinum Treasures
While platinum is renowned for lasting strength, some care ensures it remains radiant across generations:
Clean gently with mild, soapy water and a soft brush.
Store pieces separately to avoid light surface marking.
Remove jewellery before heavy manual work or exposure to harsh chemicals.
For lasting shine and security, schedule annual cleans and checks at our Kiama studio.
