Platinum necklaces occupy a refined place within the world of fine jewellery, admired for their rarity, resilience and naturally luminous finish. Emerging as a favoured precious metal during the Belle Époque and Art Deco periods, platinum enabled jewellers to create intricate yet durable designs. Its cool white tone complements both diamonds and coloured gemstones, enhancing their brilliance without distraction — in 2020, Christie’s sold a platinum necklace featuring pear-shaped diamonds for US$6.3 million.
