'Platinum' is what the Spaniards called the metal they discovered around 1740 in Colombia: 'little silver', disappointed because they had not mined real silver. They also found the gray-white luster of this platinum unappealing - they regarded it as contamination. Had the Spaniards known that this unwanted 'little silver' was actually platinum, much more valuable than silver, they would have likely jumped for joy.

Today, platinum is valued and considered one of the most precious metals in the world. Platinum is formed during the supernova explosion of very massive stars and can only be mined in limited areas on Earth, mainly in South Africa, the Urals, the Siberian Potosí Mountains, Colombia, Ontario, and the western United States. The brilliant metal is nearly twice as heavy as gold and, due to its higher density, melts only at 2,045 degrees Celsius. No wonder platinum is sometimes more expensive than gold and is highly favored by royal families!

In recent years, Saddal has specialized in working with this royal metal, combining the art of jewelry making with over twenty years of craftsmanship. We proudly present to you our 'Supernova Collection' - a stunning explosion of platinum fine jewelry.
