I remember all the rappers back in the day were wearing platinum and then out of nowhere it’s stopped being so popular

I purchased a platinum diamond bangle bracelet. When it arrived I was so surprised at how heavy it felt (not being educated on it before I purchased it. I just wanted to be able to say I have a platinum piece). I will say if you can spend the extra on the platinum do so. It just feels more sturdy.

Video was perfect . Thank you for the information . I always wondered why platinums value was so much higher .

[robertsullivan]

Very educational, thanks. It would have been nice to know the sales ratio between the two. I imagine it isn't very close do to cost.

I have had a signet ring made in platinum.

What's your opinion on using recycled metals for wedding rings, is there anything to be concerned about

[iainprior]

Nice video, thank you. On a mildly pedantic note, I guess you don't add alloys, you add other metals to create your alloy.

Good info. Thanks.
Music too loud, distracting and irritating. Sorry.

If it's just a plating why bother to have gold underneath? Is there any benefit to using other metals as the base material? I just want something shiny and silver looking that doesn't wear off easily. What's best for Quality silver looking jewelry?

[karinbotha]

You have perfectly explained the question in my mind. Have 2 gold rings exactly the same desihn in 9ct gold. One is a present from mom and one was her own. As I don't wear either and mom passed away a year ago I as thinking of rather making a set of earings. Was wandering about the weight of the different metals. You have explained my question perfectly. Thank you for sharing your experience.

is platinum shiny all the way through or does it have a rocky look when broken in half?

I have recently taken a fancy to rose gold. There was a faze about black hills gold while I was growing up which I shunned. But, what is the difference?

[Davyjones]

But problem for Platinum, most goldsmith won’t want to trade it in. At least in my country Malaysia

[hosinooji]

the most important thing is, do they look the same in colour??

[alfredoreconco]

Whats the main difference of silver and platinum?

[angelicajasmin]

Is it true platinum scratches more easier than white gold?

[cinefala]

Good video, precise and informative. I have some questions. For a platinum chain, which one is best in terms of durability, 850, 900 or 950? Are there some ways to spot fake platinum?

[GC-kket]

What’s the maintenance for platinum? I know for gold you have to re-coat it with rhodium but what do you do when platinum goes dull after some time?

[MrDJ]

Thanks dude. I’ve been wondering for years!
