About
Platinum for lost wax casting is typically 950 platinum (95% platinum, 5% ruthenium), a dense, silvery-white precious metal that does not tarnish, resists corrosion, and is hypoallergenic.
It is ductile but not hard, and will scratch with wear. Casting shrinks the metal by about 1–1.5% and polishing removes more, so finished pieces are about 3% smaller than the model, with walls of at least 0.8 mm.
Platinum is a good option for fine jewelry, settings, and heirloom pieces where purity and a white color matter.
