.950 Platinum Sheet, 0.51mm, Dead-Soft

This dead-soft, .950 platinum sheet offers the benefit of having fabrication metal on hand when you need it; custom-cut it to the exact size and shape your design requires. (And collect all your scraps—you'll help recycle precious metals and collect cash for your efforts). Dead soft sheet is easy to bend, shape and hammer; it is an ideal starting point for forming, shaping and wrapping. Keep in mind that hardness is changeable (by annealing or heat-hardening) and is relative among metal types (each temper will feel and handle differently from one metal to another). When finishing your pieces, also keep in mind that the harder the metal is, the brighter a finish it will take. This sheet features a brushed finish. 24-gauge sheet is useful for creating back plates for bezel settings. As you know, metal sheet has as many uses as there are jewelers and designers who use it to achieve their vision; these suggested uses simply represent some of the more common applications of this metal weight. Order platinum sheet in sizes up to 2" x 12". Due to the cutting capabilities of the shear, minimum cut is 1" x 1/2". 95% platinum/5% ruthenium; stamp "Platinum". Grayish-white platinum is a precious metal prized for its density and durability. Jewelry made from platinum is extremely strong, ideal for designs that need to stand up to daily wear, and is hypoallergenic, ideal for customers with metal sensitivities.
