The name platinum comes from the Spanish phrase ‘Platina del Pinto’ translating to ‘little silver of the Pinto River ’. Platinum naturally has a place in alluvial sands in a number of rivers. Julius Caesar Scaliger a well-known Italian humanist wrote the first record of platinum; as a description of an unknown noble metal which was found between Darien and Mexico.
Platinum is still known as a ‘noble metal’; the definition of noble being high and great in character, showing greatness and being magnificent. Platinum has certainly been living up to this description as now one of the most popular choices for a bride and groom’s wedding rings – as well as being the ultimate expression for other celebrations such as anniversaries and birthdays.
