What is Platinum? Unraveling the Differences with White Gold, Platinum Prices, and its Intrinsic Value

When selecting accessories, do you often find yourself confused by terms like platinum, white platinum, and white gold?

What is Platinum? Two Major Advantages Revealed

Platinum, also known as white platinum (Pt), boasts two significant advantages:

Platinum exhibits high stability, resisting deterioration and discoloration. It can maintain its bright and white luster for an extended period, enhancing the brilliance of diamonds and gemstones.

With high density and excellent ductility, platinum can be crafted into delicate and durable jewelry. It securely holds diamonds and gemstones in place.

 

Platinum vs. White Gold

From the explanations above, we understand that platinum equals white platinum. So, what is white gold (white K gold)? White K gold refers to silver-white 18K gold, an alloy made from 75% pure gold and other metals. The differences between white gold and platinum in appearance and characteristics are as follows:
 
 
Platinum
White Gold
Proportion
PT950: 95% platinum + 5% other metals
PT900: 90% platinum + 10% other metals
75% gold + 25% palladium, nickel, silver, and other metals
Appearance and Color Natural, pure silver-white colo  Gray-white, silver-white color
Disadvantages Limited mining quantity, and jewelry purity is high, resulting in generally higher prices compared to 18K gold jewelry. After prolonged wear, there might be a phenomenon of color restoration, but restoring the original appearance is possible through re-polishing and maintenance.
Advantages
Jewelry maintains a clean silver-white luster even after extended wear. High hardness, sufficient support, and resistance to wear and deformation.
Despite potential color restoration after long-term wear, the jewelry can be restored to its original appearance through re-polishing and maintenance.
 
Thus, platinum and white gold have similar appearances, each with its own pros and cons. Therefore, when making a selection, it is recommended to consider your budget, preferences, and needs.

Decoding Platinum Prices and Value

Now, let's explore the price and value of platinum. Considering the characteristics of platinum and the symbolism it represents, we can discuss the "value" of platinum from two major perspectives:

 1. Rare Characteristics Highlight Precious Rarity

Platinum, with a mining output far below that of gold and only available in select locations, accentuates its rarity and preciousness. Jewelry made from this rare metal exudes a unique and noble quality, obtained through a challenging process.

 2.Characteristics of Long-lasting Beauty Symbolize Unchanging Emotions

The enduring features of platinum, resistant to deterioration and discoloration, make it particularly suitable for engagement and wedding rings. Despite extended wear, platinum jewelry maintains its sheen and color, symbolizing unwavering and unchanging love, much like the enduring sparkle of a long-term relationship.
