18k What's the difference between platinum and platinum?
K gold

superiority

1. Rich color categories:

K white: silvery white;

K yellow: golden yellow;

K rose: also known as "colored gold", the color is similar to that of unoxidized copper;

K black: black;

K Vatican Oath: Vatican Oath original K gold, exclusive formula, the color is close to withered Ginkgo biloba leaves, which is intriguing;

In any case, no matter what K gold is, its principle is an alloy formed by the fusion of gold and other metals. The numbers before k are different, representing the gold content, such as: 24K gold, 22K gold, 18K gold, 9K gold, etc. The most common "18K gold" in China market has a gold content of 18× 4. 1666 = 75%, also known as AU750.

2. High hardness and strong plasticity;

Because of the "two in one", unity is strength, so the hardness of K gold is very high, so for the practitioners of jewelry design and production, such materials can realize many just-needed ideas;

3. Wear resistance;

The properties of the alloy determine its high hardness, so it is relatively compressive;

disadvantaged

1. Because it is an alloy, K in K gold is white and K black will fade; Over time, it will restore the essential color of gold;

platinum

superiority

1. Never fade, scarce;

Platinum, commonly known as PT in jargon, has three kinds: 990 950 900. The higher the number, the higher the purity. Generally speaking, there are 950,900 kinds of gold inlaid in jewelry, and platinum will not fade and can stand the passage of time. In addition, because it is one of the natural precious metals, the output is relatively rare;

2. Wide audience-not allergic.

Compared with K gold (alloy) jewelry, it will cause allergic reactions of sensitive people, so choosing platinum will not have this concern;

disadvantaged

1. Too "soft" and "poor wear resistance"

Because of its own properties, platinum jewelry is not as hard as k gold, and platinum is not suitable for jewelry with complex shapes; Because the hardness is not high, the wear resistance of platinum is not very good, and it needs frequent maintenance;

The advantages and disadvantages of the two precious metals are as above, and the advantages and disadvantages of nature's creations coexist, so there is no perfect choice. I hope the above sharing will be helpful to everyone!

Summary: For jewelry, it is recommended that K gold be the first choice with inlay requirements!
