ABSTRACT:
A new jewelry component alloy and articles of jewelry formed therefrom wherein the components and articles include precious metal alloys of platinum and cobalt that have magnetic properties and high hardnesses so that the various forms of fine jewelry that possess new and unusual visual and functional properties. When these alloys are formed into jewelry articles or components, the magnetic properties enable the components to either be attracted to or repelled by other components of different or like polarities. The jewelry designer is thus able to create pieces with levitating or suspended components, or to make magnetically connected components. The high hardness imparts exceptional durability to these components.
