Let's first understand the difference between Platinum 950 and Platinum 18K:
1, 18K gold is an alloy containing 75% gold. It is a white alloy made of gold and palladium or nickel, silver, copper, zinc and other metals, and its main component is still gold. Platinum (Pt) is a natural white precious metal. According to the national regulations, only jewelry with platinum content above 85% can be called platinum jewelry, and it must be marked with Pt.
2. The difference between18k platinum and gold is also reflected in the rarity of raw materials. Only 88 tons of platinum is made into ornaments every year, while 2,700 tons of gold.
3. Platinum is more stable than gold in chemical properties and higher in price than Huang Jingui, so it is used to make high-grade jewelry. There are two kinds of platinum ornaments in the market: pt950 and pt900, which contain 950‰ and 900‰ platinum respectively. 18K platinum is a mixture containing gold (Au) and a small amount of other precious metal elements. The purity of 18K platinum seen in the market is 75%. It is made of 75% gold and 25% silver, nickel, copper and other metals, that is, white gold, marked as 18K platinum, AU750, 750G and so on. Because of the different elements, K gold has red, white and Huang San colors.
4. In terms of durability, the density and weight of platinum make it more durable than other jewelry metals. All precious metals leave scratches, including platinum. However, the scratches on platinum only move the metal and will not reduce its volume, while the scratches on gold will bring wear and reduce the volume of gold. If there are scratches visible to the naked eye on platinum, Levi's real-name diamond ring customization center can be re-polished. Platinum has almost no impurities, and its purity is extremely high. It will not fade and change color, and it can still maintain its luster over time. The pure white luster of platinum can well reflect the true light of diamonds.
