PGI aims to provide easily accessible resources, practical help and education. Our objective is to provide an interactive forum for jewelry professionals to network, seek advice and share information.
Platinum Guild International (PGI) is an organization funded by leading South African platinum producers and refiners. Founded in 1975, PGI has been providing information, sales support and training to all levels of the jewelry trade for almost 30 years. In addition to its headquarters in London, PGI has offices in each of the world's major jewelry markets - China, Germany, India, Italy, Japan and the USA.
Since the mid 1990s the platinum jewelry market has expanded rapidly. In 1995 PGI had offices in 4 markets with Japan alone accounting for 81% of platinum jewelry off take. An office was established in China in 1997 and since then China has become the largest market accounting for 50% of jewelry off take. Today, jewelry off take now accounts for almost 50% of total platinum mined yearly.
