Platinum is both heavy and expensive. Fortunately, it is sold by weight. If your heart desires platinum but $2250 exceeds your budget, make lighter rings. Here are a few examples:
$2250 6mm x 1.5mm & 4mm x 1.5mm
$1975 5mm x 1.5mm & 3mm x 1.5mm
$1775 5mm x 1.25mm & 3mm x 1.25mm
$1500 4mm x 1mm & 3mm x 1mm
These prices* are the total fee, including the workshop, precious metal & sales tax.
You are welcome to make half-round simple bands.
Platinum Alloys
950 Pt/Ru - 95% Platinum with Ruthenium. Most wedding bands we make at my studio are of this alloy.
900 Pt/Ir - 90% Platinum with Iridium. We usually use this alloy when customers book late and Pt/Ru is not in stock at time of order. It is the alloy traditionally used in jewelry many years ago.
The price and workability differences between the alloys is minimal for our purposes.
*Prices are based on a $1297/oz platinum market and are subject to change. |
