What is platinum?
- What's the difference between platinum and gold?
- Platinum is over 20 times rarer than gold. It takes
10 tons of ore to get one ounce of platinum, gold takes 3 tons of ore
for one ounce of gold.
- Platinum is more
difficult and consequently more expensive to refine.
- Platinum is almost double the weight of 18k gold.
- Platinum will never wear out.
- What's the difference between platinum and white gold?
- White gold is a less expensive "white metal", white gold
is man made and does not occur naturally in nature.
- What's the difference between platinum and silver?
- Platinum is the most precious of white metals. Both
platinum and silver have the appearance of a white metal, but platinum
is extremely durable and resists tarnishing..
- Be aware that over time platinum
develops a natural patina that many people prefer over the "just
polished" appearance of platinum. When this happens to your platinum
jewelry you may take it to a qualified jeweler and have the item
polished for that "high gloss" look or simply ask them not to remove the
patina if that is your preference. Do not electronically clean
platinum plated jewelry, polish it only!
