Smithson Tennant Announces Precious New Metal for Luxury Jewellery Retailers With a Capsule His & Hers Collection
(PRWEB) December 16, 2016 -- Smithson Tennant, a division of American Elements, announced today that for the first time in the world history of jewelry making it has developed the technology to produce jewelry from iridium. Iridium is one of the precious metals like gold, silver and platinum but due to its extremely high melting point and extreme hardness – comparatively, gold melts at 1,945° F while iridium melts at a staggering 4,435° F – it is not a metal jewelers are presently able to work with. “It’s been several thousand years since a new precious metal has been added to the materials used in making jewelry,” said Michael Silver, CEO of the company. “This technological advancement is of great historic importance.” With this new metal, Smithson Tennant introduces an exclusive line of Iridium wedding bands and commitment rings as an opulent new way of expressing a promise of forever. The collection sets an all-new standard in fine jewelry. As the least tarnishing and therefore highest luster precious metal, iridium’s unique bright platinum gray luster lasts longer and under more extreme conditions than gold and platinum. It can even be dipped in concentrated acid and not tarnish. American Elements’ expertise in working with pure iridium allows Smithson Tennant to collaborate with fashion and jewelry designers and produce the patent-pending, first and still the only, certified 24 karat, 99.9% pure iridium jewelry.
