Step 1
Look for platinum markings. The marking will let you know how much of the piece is made of platinum. For example, 950 pt means that 950 parts per thousand of the piece is made of pure platinum. The balance is from other metals.
Step2
Expect to pay more for platinum. Due to its durability, platinum jewelry costs more than white or yellow gold pieces.
Step3
Choose platinum to accentuate the appearance of diamonds. Diamonds on platinum create an elegant look.
Step4
Purchase a jewelry box or request a soft cloth pouch to store the platinum jewelry. You need to keep platinum separate from other jewelry to prevent scratching.
Step5
Get an appraisal. Since platinum jewelry tends to be expensive, it is important to get a certificate of its value at the time of purchase.
• Due to its similar appearance and lower price, many people choose white gold jewelry over platinum.
• Don't forget to request fine jewelry cleaner in order to clean and polish your platinum jewelry on a regular basis
