Yes, I've been playing with a new material...platinum...in the liquid form. It's sleek and oh, so becoming! Whether it's layered between the glass or applied on top, it adds a whole new dimension to my designs. Between the layers it's subtle and a little elusive - just hinting at the energy it carries. On top of the glass it boldly catches the light and engages the beholder in a subconscious conversation.
Platinum is one of the rarest elements in the Earth's crust. Because only a few hundred tonnes are produced annually, it is a scarce material, is highly valuable and is a major precious metal commodity.
Is it expensive? Well, it is platinum, and it's not cheap (costing $1,700 per troy ounce versus $1,500 for gold and $35 for silver). Thankfully, a little bit of liquid platinum goes a long way, so I have been able to keep prices of pieces including this rare material in line with my other merchandise.
So, saddle up to the bar and indulge yourself in a little glass and platinum concoction!
