Personalizing jewelry is perhaps the best way to express a multitude of sentiments that are unique to you and/or your loved ones. Romance, friendship, congratulations, and even friendly secrets… the durability and luminous beauty of precious platinum make it the finest medium for all of life’s heirloom moments. From the classic to the creative, there is something for everyone in our curation of platinum jewelry awaiting your personal touch.
While famous for their antiques, Bell & Bird’s custom jewelry collection is not to be overlooked! Every step of the process is given the utmost attention; you can be sure that inception (a pencil sketch or a watercolor rendering, shown above) to completion (handmade platinum jewel) will be the pride of generations.
Let’s begin with bridal platinum! Take the wedding or anniversary band (like this Simon G. ring) up a spectacular notch by customizing diamond sizes, cuts, and even quantity. Have you ever considered a differently-shaped diamond to represent each of your children? Très chic!
Blue Nile not only makes it easy—and fun—to create a platinum engagement ring she’ll adore down to the specific diamond cut, but it’s a peaceful platform to find, bookmark, and purchase matching platinum wedding bands.
A bit tricky to see here, but the Jillian Abboud ring on the left is engineered in such a way that its face turns fully on two hidden pins—hence, #swivelsignet! The reverse can be hand-engraved with initials of your choice for a platinum treasure that is every bit as meaningful as it is clever. Also by Jillian, the ring on the right is a style that can be totally customized with birthstones or a harlequin array of gems… and the most charismatic of unusual diamond cuts that satisfies your every stacking dream. By the way, wouldn’t these two look spectacular as a wedding set?
Do you have a loose diamond you’d like to have set, or a family diamond you’d like to have reset? Look no further than Gem Platinum – a company committed to platinum excellence.
Ending the bridal portion of our personalized platinum palooza (say that five times fast!) with something we think is equally necessary and genius: an engagement ring by Cliq. Though we’re showing a gorgeous petal-shaped halo style here, Cliq can customize any silhouette you desire and even refurbish your favorite platinum rings with their patented locking hinge mechanism – great from the arthritic to anyone who has knuckles larger than their actual finger size to those who just want a perfect fit. Sign us up!
Immediately recognizable by his captivating use of the tension setting, Steven Kretchmer artfully harnesses the strength and lasting whiteness of platinum in his Double Oval pendant (this version with a pavé bail). Prefer sapphires or rubies instead of diamonds to keep family members close to your heart? Today’s your lucky day! Steven Kretchmer can do it all.
One of Featherstone’s design principles is the ability to convert (another is dedicated use of platinum, hurrah!). The Anemone Earrings can have their multi-gemstone tops swapped out for a pair of different colors or lengths; a completed jewel can be purchased directly, or several enhancers may be collected over time to commemorate special occasions. And yes, “Friday” is a special occasion!
Emotional hardware, indeed! Marla Aaron has outdone herself yet again by introducing another heavyweight lock to her iconic carabiner-inspired lineup: the Starlock. Grace the light of your life with a metal that originated from the stars themselves! Marla Aaron offers a variety of platinum locks of different shapes and sizes; the perfect collection to personalize your mood.
Finally, Alexis Kletjian wants her platinum jewelry to truly be a part of your legacy. Whether you choose to adorn, memorialize or shield yourself, every component is made with exacting standards to suit practically every demand; the Lotus Shield, for example, can be set with gemstones of your choosing (including diamonds along the edges for glamour at every angle). A name, or an entire quote from your favorite sassy scientist can be made immortal in her platinum Dog Tag… and even her smallest platinum charm can be engraved on both sides if you wish. What a time to #beplatinum!
