"There is no doubt that if it had a significantly lower melting point, Iridium would have been the preferred precious metal of royalty and the wealthy for the past 1,000 years. Iridium appears deep gray and is a highly reflective metal that is the highest luster, lowest tarnishing element in the universe. Since it commands an extremely high melting temperature which is more than 2,000 degrees above that of gold, it was not used in jewellery manufacturing until the technology by American Elements. ![]() The metal is characterised as an extremely rare precious metal with a more luxurious patina than gold, silver or platinum, reports say. Among the first buyers is a Rothschild banker in London for his wedding band and a well-known California female artist." ![]() "The introduction of a new precious metal to the global jewellery industry is an important and exciting once in a lifetime event. "The response has been fantastic," reports American Elements CEO Michael N. The company is headquartered in Los Angeles and is a manufacturer of rare metals. It is a metal most resistant to corrosion. The company has already begun production of jewellery in the metal. Iridium is a brittle, lustrous, hard, rare and very dense metal like platinum.
