Platinum

Platinum is a malleable, ductile element. Described as grayish-white in color, its name comes from the Spanish platina, which means “little silver.” Platinum is one of the so-called precious metals, along with gold and silver. It is rarer than gold, and much heavier and harder. Because of its hardness, platinum can be used in a purer form than gold. Usually at about 95%.

Emerald

Probably the most expensive gemstone, the emerald is a member of the beryl family and can be valued higher than diamonds. Ranging in color from pure green to blue-green, the more vivid the tone, hue, and color consistency, the better the stone. Emeralds are the rare exception to the rule that inclusions are bad. In fact, gemologists use these flaws as evidence of the gem's authenticity. The gem's center should be as flawless as possible. Emeralds rate a solid 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs Scale, making them an excellent choice for jewelry. As May's birthstone, the emerald is said to offer the wearer protection from evil spirits, provide the gift of eloquence and arouse both the intellect and the heart. Colombian emeralds are generally the most prized due to their transparency and fire.
