Is there any such thing as Platinum Metal Clay? 

This is a response from Tim McCreight to a question about Platinum 
metal clay on the Ganoksin website.


"It is true that for a short time, Mitsubishi Materials made PMC 
in platinum. They have discontinued this product, mostly, I think, 
because of the extremely high firing temperatures required to sinter 
the clay. A possible alternative is for this person to make her ring 
in silver PMC, then have it molded and cast in platinum.
