Questions About 1950s Platinum
- What is Edwardian platinum?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Edwardian jewelry is the last era of jewelry to be defined by a British monarch’s rule. For many of the Edwardian designs, platinum was the material of choice. In 1903, the invention of the acetylene torch meant that platinum’s dense, malleable form could be heated and fashioned into the desired jewelry designs. Shop a selection of Edwardian jewelry from some of the world’s top art dealers on 1stDibs.
- How much is a platinum ring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021On average, a platinum band would typically cost around $1,000. However, if there are any gemstones, the cost would likely be much higher.
- Does Cartier use platinum?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Cartier uses platinum in the production of their jewelry and other items. In fact, Alfred Cartier and his three sons are credited with mastering this metal and creating a process that made it possible for jewelers to use this metal efficiently. Find vintage and contemporary Cartier jewelry from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023If it seems like most engagement rings are platinum, you’ve likely been shopping at retailers and boutiques that primarily specialize in the sale of platinum jewelry. It’s true that platinum is among the most popular metals for engagement rings. Cartier pioneered the use of platinum in fine jewelry in the late 1800s, identifying the strong, lustrous metal as ideal for bringing out the true qualities of diamonds. However, engagement rings are in fact created with a range of many other materials, such as yellow gold, white gold, rose gold and titanium. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of engagement rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023No, most engagement rings aren't platinum. Some people do prefer platinum due to its appearance and its resistance to scratching and fading. However, makers offer engagement rings in a wide range of precious metals, including white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, titanium and sterling silver. Shop a large selection of engagement rings on 1stDibs.
- Is platinum good for earrings?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023Yes, platinum can be good for earrings. Many people love the cool color and sleek appearance of platinum, and the metal can be beautiful on its own or used as a setting for gemstones.

- Is Platinum better than gold?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021While preferences differ, platinum is generally considered to be better than gold. Platinum is a naturally occurring white metal that is rarer, heavier, and harder than gold. Due to its hardness, platinum is able to be used in a much purer form than gold, which makes the metal more expensive.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes. While the gem has always been a mainstay in jewelry, there was a boom in demand for pearl pieces in the 1950s. The style at the time was black-and-white-chic, and pearls were an excellent accompaniment to pieces like the classic little black dress. Shop a collection of expertly vetted pearl jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Because platinum is denser than other metals, it is often more expensive to purchase platinum watches than gold. One of the most expensive watches sold was a Platinum Rolex worth $277,000.

- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024Whether platinum is the best for engagement rings depends on your personal preferences.

- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024The clothing style in the 1950s was well tailored and classic. For women, dresses with padded busts, cinched waists and hips, and full circle skirts were popular, and the collared button-up shirt dress came into fashion during the decade.
