Platinum
We buy platinum jewelry
Platinum is a pure metal, silvery-white in appearance and quite heavy. Platinum has become a popular and expensive choice over white gold and palladium for consumers that want high-end fashion jewelry including diamond engagement rings, wedding bands, necklaces and bracelets.
Because platinum has a high value, now may be a good time for you to sell your platinum jewelry
Here’s what you need to know to identify platinum:
If you have white metal jewelry, look for the metal karat hallmark. If it is a gold, silver, platinum or palladium alloy, a hallmark should always be present. The hallmark is usually located somewhere where it will not be visible when worn. This can be the inside face of a ring, inside a locket or on the clasp of a chain.
Look for these hallmarks on your jewelry:
White Gold = 10kt, 14kt, 18kt, or 22kt
Silver = sterling, ster, STR or 925
Platinum= plat, pt, 900Plat, 900Pt, 850Plat, 850Pt
Palladium= pall, Pd, 950Pall, 950Pd
If you cannot identify the hallmark, just reach for a bottle of iodine to quickly identify your metal. Place a drop of iodine on the white metal piece and let it dry. If it dries clear, it’s platinum. If it dries black, it’s palladium. And if it dries a brownish color, it’s white gold.
We hope this helps you identify your gold, silver, palladium and platinum jewelry!
