From bar to bangle
How a fine platinum bar becomes a 20 g Pt950 platinum bangle, and what each step adds to the bill.
Fine bar
It starts as 19 g of fine platinum, 999.5. Pure platinum is too soft to hold a setting.
Melt and alloy
Melted at 1,768 °C with 1 g of ruthenium: 20 g of Pt950 platinum, hard enough to hold a shape.
Draw the wire
Poured into a steel mould to cast a rod, then pulled through smaller and smaller dies into wire. The making charge starts here.
Shape
Cut, bent round a mandrel and soldered shut into a bangle.
Decorate
Granules, engraving and set stones, by hand. Stones are billed on top of the metal.
Polish and hallmark
Polished, assayed and stamped PT950 inside the band. Pt950 means 95% platinum.
