Platinum settings

[Leanne]

Is it true that platinum is very rigid & tends to crack or break more than gold?

Can someone comment on the Platinum mix debate that seems to be ongoing. I just dont have the energy to look up pages of information.

I have read Plat. with cobalt is a very weak combination. I've read that Plat. 900 with iridium 100, is very good. I've read that Plat. 950 with Ruthin. 50 is also very good. Out of the two listed, which is the strongest mix, with Irridium or with Ruthinium?
