We now offer premium quality casting platinum. Our best selling mix is 90% platinum & 10% iridium, which is the best overall mix for casting. We also offer 95%Pt/5%Ruthenium grain. The advantage for this mix is you can stamp the jewelry "Platinum" rather than Platinum/Iridium. This virgin grain is available at no minimum quantity, and is kept in stock at all times for immediate shipping. To calculate your cost, add 13% to the market price. At this price, you can really encourage your customer to upgrade to fine platinum jewelry.
After you cast and polish, you may need to fabricate or assemble the items. When you need to assemble, be sure to order our cadmium free, top quality platinum solders. Our Platinum solders are made in 8 different flows. Temperatures start at 1000° centigrade (extra easy) up in 100° degree increments to 1700° (Extra Hard). With all these flows, it sure is easier to step assemble, and be a bit more brave on profitable platinum repairs.
When it comes to those re-sizing jobs and real fabrication work, you will need wire and sizing stock. Perhaps even sheet. We make that to order, shipped within 5 days. (95%Pt/5%Ru only) The market does vary, call anytime for a quote.
