Brilliance and Unique Finishes with Legor Group
100% recycled platinum, rhodium, silver, gold and palladium are at the core of the alloy and electroplating solution lines serving the jewelry and watchmaking industries
Andromeda, Aurora, Antares… the new Legor Group alloys developed for 2026 bear names that evoke ancient myths.
Specifically, Andromeda takes inspiration from one of the brightest constellations in the universe. Just as this group of stars traces the shape of the letter “A” in the sky, platinum—now offered by Legor in an innovative granule format—becomes the starting point for the creation of jewelry with a perfect white color and exceptional brilliance. The drop format allows jewelry manufacturers to work more easily and efficiently from the very first use. Compared to the traditional sheet format, granules are easier to weigh, allow for a higher loading volume, and reduce melting times by up to 20%, with a direct positive impact on productivity and sustainability, thanks also to lower energy dispersion and reduced alloy contamination. From the stellar tones of platinum, the journey continues to the warm hues of rose gold with Aurora, the new family of alloys developed in Legor’s R&D laboratories and inspired by the delicate, luminous colors of dawn. Characterized by an intense and brilliant 5N red shade, Aurora alloys are produced using precious metals sourced 100% from recycling and with an extremely high degree of purity. The result is jewelry with a smooth, compact surface, capable of enhancing every formal detail. Compared to other solutions available on the market, Aurora stands out for its reduced susceptibility to brittleness, lower surface roughness, and excellent performance in reuse. The optimal balance of elements ensures an ideal combination of workability, color stability, and aesthetic performance, making these alloys the perfect choice for refined creations that remain reliable over time. Research into color reaches its highest expression with Antares, Legor’s new family of red alloys, inspired by one of the brightest stars in the Scorpius constellation, renowned for its intense, shimmering red color, reminiscent of Mars. An ancient star, much like the long-standing tradition of red gold in jewelry, which has been used for ornamental purposes for centuries. The result of long and meticulous work by the Legor R&D Team, Antares is born from a perfectly calibrated combination of copper and silver, capable of giving jewelry a deep, vibrant red tone with timeless elegance. A family of alloys designed for those seeking a bold, stable, and highly recognizable color. Completing the alloy offering is Silnova®, Legor’s silver alloy enriched with palladium, a noble and precious element. This innovative formulation gives creations an unmistakable brilliance, comparable to that of white gold, while ensuring extremely high resistance to oxidation—one of the main limitations of traditional silver. Silnova® thus opens up new expressive and application possibilities for contemporary jewelry.
There are also numerous innovations in the field of electroplating solutions, which—even in the case of platinum-based processes—use exclusively 100% recycled precious metals. This is the case with Rodhiens, a solution designed not only for jewelry but also for watchmaking, offering a unique finish that combines platinum, the rarest of white metals, with rhodium. The PTPure line, on the other hand, is distinguished by a platinum bath applied using Flash technology, ideal for high-quality finishes. Among the most innovative electroplating processes is DarkBond, developed by Legor as an intermediate gunmetal-colored layer applied to the base metal before the final black finish. DarkBond effectively counteracts oxidation and tarnishing phenomena, improving the jewelry’s resistance to abrasion by 2 to 3 times compared to market standards. An ideal solution for high jewelry and luxury, allowing manufacturers to avoid the use of e-coating, often discouraged when combined with high-end precious metal designs.
