Ruthenium acts as an exceptional metallic hardener
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Pure platinum and palladium are quite lovely, but annoyingly soft. Ruthenium steps in as the brutal chemical disciplinarian, vastly hardening these softer metals when added in small doses. It takes delicate, easily scratched elements and reinforces their atomic lattice, turning luxury jewelry into something that actually survives daily existence.
One discovery leads to another.
