Platinet

PLATINET® Metal

A unique ECI metal, PLATINET® is a Platinum and Sterling Silver combination of alloys that gives you a Bright White Color and a High Luster Finish. PLATINET® captures the bright luminescence of the sun. Maintaining the beauty of this radiant metal is simple and with proper care, your PLATINET® metal designs can last for generations.

PLATINET® Care

Like sterling silver, PLATINET® metal can tarnish, but due to the Platinum mix you will not experience the common tarnishing of Sterling Silver. Care is minimal and can be handled with a simple silver tarnish cloth. Otherwise simply wash in warm sudsy water and dry thoroughly. To remove tarnish or fingerprints on PLATINET®, use ECI silver polishing cloth or another quality brand. “Dip” polishes containing harsh chemicals should be avoided. Electrolytic cleaning (aluminum foil, salt and baking soda in a water base) is not recommended.

Storing PLATINET®

Once cleaned, and polished, PLATINET® metal must be kept properly stored. Our ECI Blue flannel bags will protect it from abrasion and offer a degree of tarnish prevention. Bags made of “Pacific” cloth are also very effective in preventing tarnish. If the climate is humid, place a small packet of demoisturizing crystals (e.g., silica gel) inside the bag.
