Cause the tongue has to be a bit springy (it bends down a bit when you insert it into the clasp, and then springs back up inside the clasp body to latch) - platinum would just bend and not spring back up. Alloyed gold is a much better metal when you want that elasticity on deformation. It usually matters less, but the tongue of the clasp has so little metal to begin with!OMG, absolutely stunning. I am curious though; why the tongue of the clasp in a different metal?
I didn’t think to specify or even ask when I first heard my metal choices so definitely relieved to see the gold tongue!!
