Vintage Platinum Rings

In 100BC, the Incas, most famous of the Ancient South American civilizations, were found to be gifted metal workers, although they didn't have a hand in our Vintage Platinum Rings , they did use Platinum to create nose Rings and ceremonial jewelry. Thirsty for gold, Spanish conquistadores were unimpressed by Platinum and threw it back in the rivers of Ecuador to ‘ripen'. Antonio de Ulloa y Garcia de la Torre misunderstood the value of this element and named it ‘platina' or ‘little silver'. In the 18 th century, Platinum was used in attempts to change lead into gold and gained recognition from alchemists as it arrived in Europe.
