Ms. Wang's mother recently bought a platinum necklace for more than 1,000 yuan. At that time, the salesperson told her that platinum and platinum are the same thing, but the name is different.

Platinum is much more expensive than platinum. What is the difference between platinum and platinum? Experts said that platinum, the chemical element symbol pt, is a very precious metal. Platinum is produced in a small amount and is naturally white in nature. It is currently the most expensive of all precious metals. The so-called platinum is not a metal, but a general term for white alloy, which is far less valuable than platinum. The most common is the alloy of gold, and 18k gold is mainly sold in the market. 18k gold contains 75% gold, and the remaining 25% is other metals. In addition to white, 18k gold has other colors, and its hardness is higher than that of gold. Pay attention to two major issues when buying. A related person in charge of a gold store said that platinum is now commonly called platinum by many people. It is this irregular name in the society that gives unscrupulous operators an opportunity. Consumers mainly pay attention to two issues when buying platinum jewelry. First of all, platinum jewelry is marked with the'pt' logo, which is a unique logo for platinum, and other metal jewelry is not allowed to be used. Generally, there will be 950, 900 after pt, which means that the purity of platinum is 95% and 90%. . For the location of the logo, the pendant is usually placed on the back, and the ring is usually placed on the inner circle. The gold alloy jewelry marked with 18k or 14k is simply marked with a number such as 750, which means that the gold content is 75%. The pd mark is palladium jewelry. Palladium is another precious metal similar to platinum, but not as good as it. Platinum is precious. Secondly, when consumers purchase platinum jewelry, they should require the operator to issue an invoice, and clearly write platinum on the invoice. It is best to indicate the weight of the jewelry, so that it is easier to claim compensation in the event of a dispute. In addition, platinum has a higher density than other precious metal jewelry, and it feels heavier in your hand, but because the weight of jewelry is relatively small, it is not easy for ordinary consumers to grasp.
