History

Known as little silver, platinum is so-named after the Spanish word for that phrase, platino. Archaeologists have found that the first traces of platinum used in human creations were found in artifacts buried in Egyptian tombs around the year 1200 BCE. Many have suggested that those decorative items with gold-platinum alloys did not knowingly alloy the platinum into the gold. Pre-Columbian indigenous tribes in modern-day Ecuador are credited with the first purposeful use of platinum in decorative artifacts.
