Electroforming as a manufacturing technology has been around for quite a while – for gold jewellery, that is. Today, endeavours to replicate its application and success in platinum jewellery production are gradually breaking ground.
A joint study on “Improvements in Platinum Electroforming” by Platinum Guild International (PGI®) and Pino Aliprandini SA revealed that recent advances have addressed some challenges to platinum electroforming, but limitations remain. Finetuning its performance and feasibility can thus open new opportunities in the platinum jewellery marketplace, the study said.
