Kunzite and Diamond Ring in 900 Platinum

With an unusual icy pink to lilac hue, kunzite has a delicate floral beauty. This pastel pink gem was first discovered in the United States early in the 20th century in Connecticut and California. Even its name has American roots: this gem variety of the mineral spodumene is named in tribute to George Kunz, the legendary gem scholar, gemologist, and gem buyer for Tiffany & Co. The largest faceted kunzite is American too: an 880 Carat specimen on display at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C. Found around the globe today, the fresh beauty of kunzite is something that everyone in the world can appreciate.

Platinum is the most precious metal: pure, rare and enduring. Platinum jewelry is always more expensive than jewelry made with other metals. As a result, platinum has more prestige too. It’s a beautiful naturally white metal with extraordinary jewelry-making attributes. It holds important gemstones securely. You can feel the difference when you pick up a piece of platinum jewelry: platinum is noticeably heavier than gold. Platinum is more than 90% pure so it’s hypoallergenic too, perfect for sensitive skin.
