    Platinum clay is available in Japan and requires a special kiln to
    fire, if I remember correctly, it has to be oxygen free. You can
    email your question to tech  AT  PMC Guild.com (remove spaces) and you
    will get a prompt response. 

    My impression is that platinum clay will not ever be available here. 

    Why not have your client make her wedding ring in silver clay, then
    mold it and cast it in platinum? More cost effective way to go
    anyway.
