Osmium

Osmium has been available in its crystalline form since 2014. It is available in the form of jewelry or as an tangible investment metal. Thanks to its crystalline sparkle and special properties, it has made an unprecedented triumphal march around the globe in the last 10 years.

This website is updated on an ongoing basis. It is intended for use by end customers as well as jewelers, investment advisors and trading partners.

Crystalline osmium is seen on the market as an investment metal as well as an art and jewelry metal. There could of course be many other industrial applications resulting from the special properties of osmium, but osmium is too rare and too expensive for any of these application options.

In the long term, investors are therefore primarily speculating that osmium will become increasingly difficult for jewelers to acquire due to its rarity. In the future, private and institutional investors will supply the jewelry market with crystalline osmium in the form of Osmium-Disks, Osmium-Diamonds and Osmium-Stars.

When used in jewelry, it is processed together with metals such as gold, silver, platinum or titanium to create spectacular pieces of jewelry. These pieces of jewelry take additional material from the raw materials market for osmium. As the pieces of jewelry remain in private hands, the osmium cannot be recovered from them. 

Pieces of osmium jewelry are too valuable to be sent for recycling, which is also very costly and therefore only carried out to a very limited extent.

However, with the sharp fall in prices on the diamond market, it is now possible for osmium in its use as osmavé to replace diamonds in many areas of the market.

There are many reasons for this. Firstly, the sparkle of osmium can be perceived much more widely than the glitter of diamonds due to the perfect reflection of parallel sunlight. Secondly, osmium does not refract light and therefore does not reduce the light density of the emitted light. Thirdly, osmium produces a better shape of the diamond carpet, which makes very pointed shapes and also very soft shapes possible, as osmium can be cut perfectly. 

As the eternal metal, however, its mythical status means that it may even overtake metals such as gold in the future.

Osmium is referred to as the ultimate noble metal, as its physical properties are particularly unusual.

Just as it has a special position among the investment metals, it is also seen as special in jewelry production.

In physics, however, its status is also exceptional. We would like to mention a few examples from the many special features.

1) Osmium has the highest abrasion resistance of all materials. It would therefore be the most durable nail file in the world. 

2) It also has the highest density of all elements and all compounds in chemistry. This alone, in addition to the crystal structure, is a physical constant that is a compelling indicator of authenticity, as there can be no denser metal. 

3) Osmium has an extraordinary ability to withstand pressure. It has the highest compression modulus of all materials.

4) Osmium also shields a whole spectrum of radiation particularly well. If enough osmium were available, it would be possible to protect spaceships from radiation on their journey through space.

5) It has a unique blue-silver to blue-white sparkle, which is particularly evident in the reflection of parallel sunlight and LED artificial light. Its high reflectivity results in an impressively sparkling and stunning crystal structure. 

And, in the eyes of many, it is undisputedly the most beautiful jewelry metal in the world.
