Buying platinum jewelry: The rarest precious metal for special jewelry
Quick answer:
Buying platinum jewelry: PT950 vs. white gold, advantages & for whom it is ideal. The purest precious metal in fine jewelry – at Corelune.
Platinum Jewelry: Why Platinum is the Most Noble Metal in the World
Buying platinum jewelry is a decision for longevity. No other precious metal is as rare, as durable, and as pure as platinum. While gold appears in various alloys, platinum shines with a natural white luster that requires no treatment.
What Makes Platinum So Special
- Absolute Purity: PT950 means 95% pure platinum – gold 750 has only 75% pure metal
- Natural White Without Rhodium Plating: White gold needs periodic coating – platinum does not
- Extremely Dense: Platinum is significantly heavier than gold – you feel the weight and associate it with quality
- Nickel-Free: Platinum is the most hypoallergenic of all precious metals – ideal for sensitive skin
- No Material Abrasion: Scratches displace the metal but do not wear it away – platinum literally lasts forever
Platinum Jewelry vs. White Gold: The Decisive Comparison
- White Gold: Rhodium-plated, needs re-treatment every 1-2 years, cheaper
- Platinum: Naturally white, no re-treatment necessary, more expensive but cheaper in the long run for maintenance
Hallmarks on Platinum Jewelry
- PT950: 95% pure platinum – standard for jewelry
- PT900: 90% pure platinum – slightly more robust due to higher alloy content
- PT850: 85% – cheaper, rarer in fine jewelry
Who is Platinum Jewelry Ideal For?
- People with nickel allergies – platinum is the safest metal
- Engagement and wedding rings – the safest diamond setting
- Buyers who value authenticity and purity above all else
- Investors – platinum has inherent commodity value
