Ruthenium is used as a finish for sterling silver jewelry to give it a distinctive gun metal color. It is also the hardest of all the platinum group metals and is a very durable and stable finish. Ruthenium can prevent scratches and abrasion on the surface, making sterling silver jewelry more durable. With ruthenium plating the silver won’t tarnish. The timeless Classic Chain features a delicate, open form strikingly contrasted with the enigmatic drama of dark ruthenium plating. Tracing the latticework, diamond pavé highlights the style in the uncommon Parisian setting to fully displaying the brilliance of each stone. * The last two photos are from an original John Hardy sales catalog.
