I have been checking everywhere on this, basically the setting i desire can be done for $775 in 950/50 plat/iridium; or for $125 more I can get it somewhere else made with 900/100 plat/iridium.
I found vicker's hardness diff of 80(on the 950/50) vs 110(on the 900/100)...would this actually be something you could tell over time with use though, that extra strength...is it worth the dough?
any suggestions welcome, pls leave some as i don't have any experience to draw from, and any old threads usually revolve around the debate of gold vs plat, not regarding the actual alloys of plat....thank you.
ps-i would like to resist the patina, and don't want gold~since i'm only using a 2mm shank i want the extra weight of plat.
