铂金和白金

First, the composition

The metal composition of the two is completely different. Platinum is an element, and platinum is a mixture of gold (au) and other small amounts of other metals. On the chemical element table, platinum is gold and platinum is platinum. Platinum (pt) is more chemically stable than gold and is more expensive than gold and is used to make high-end jewelry. The “pt900” or “pt950” seen on the jewelry store's products means that the platinum content of the jewelry is 90% and 95%, respectively.

Second, the rarity

Platinum is 35 times more rare than gold, and it can only be mined in very few places around the world, mainly in South Africa and Russia, and in a few regions of Zimbabwe, Canada, and South America. Each year, only 88 tons of platinum are made into jewelry, while gold has 2,700 tons. The number of platinum mines is even less, and the ratio to gold mines is 1 to 10.

Third, durability

Platinum's density and weight make it more durable than other jewelry metals. All precious metals leave scratches, and platinum is no exception. However, the scratches on the platinum only move the metal, it does not reduce its volume, and the scratches on the gold will cause wear and reduce the volume of gold. If there is a visible scratch on the platinum, a qualified jeweler can re-polish it.

Platinum is a natural white precious metal, expressed in pt, usually silver gray. Platinum group metals are beautiful in color; strong in ductility; refractory, anti-friction and anti-corrosion; chemically stable at high temperatures. Therefore, they have a wide range of uses. Among the platinum group metals, the most familiar and used one is platinum.

In summary, the method of distinguishing between platinum and platinum is discernible by the above methods, and I hope to help you.
