the difference between platinum 95 and platinum 999
the platinum content is different
platinum 999 has a platinum content of 99.9%, which is relatively high in purity among platinum, so it is relatively soft; Platinum 95, with a platinum content of 95%, has a higher hardness than platinum 999.
Different uses
Platinum 999, because of its softness, is not suitable for setting large-grained gems, so it is more used to make plain gold jewelry or jewelry with broken gems, and is often used in industry, science and technology, aerospace and other fields; Platinum 95, with a relatively high hardness, is often used to inlay jewelry such as large diamonds, colorful treasures and jade, and has been bundled with diamonds by merchants for many years.
The imprint is different
Platinum 999 and Platinum 95 have different characters on jewelry. Platinum 999 is imprinted with PT999 on jewelry, while Platinum 95 is imprinted with PT95. Pay attention to the distinction when buying platinum jewelry.
It can be seen that Platinum 999 and Platinum 95 have their own advantages, but their applications in jewelry are different.
which is better, platinum 999 or platinum 95?
from the investment point of view, platinum 999 and platinum 95 have no investment value, and the price of platinum has plummeted in the past decade, and now the price of platinum is 815.96 yuan/ounce (RMB 184 yuan/gram, June 3, 22). If you want to invest, you'd better choose gold, such as investing in gold bars.
from the wearing point of view, if the two materials are better, the 999 material with higher purity is naturally better. However, for diamond rings, the hardness of 999 material is low and the texture is soft, so making diamond rings will lead to low firmness, so it is usually used to make necklaces, earrings and other jewelry; In contrast, the 95 material has higher hardness and higher firmness, and it is very suitable for necklaces, earrings and diamond rings. Therefore, it is best to choose 95 material to buy a diamond ring.
how about platinum jewelry?
as we all know, platinum is rare, stable and pure white, natural and noble in the field of precious metals, and has extremely high intrinsic value. Its toughness and ductility make it a perfect match for gem setting, and it has an irreplaceable position in jewelry, investment and other fields.
platinum jewelry has a silvery metallic luster, and will not be oxidized and discolored like silver jewelry and K gold, so it is a relatively high-quality material for setting precious stones and diamonds. Platinum attracts many fashionable people with its pure, rare and eternal characteristics, and its price is far lower than that of palladium and gold jewelry. It has a high cost performance and is very popular in the market.
according to the comparison of the above aspects, it is suggested that when you buy jewelry, if you only want to wear it, you should choose 95 material with higher firmness, and if you want to collect it, 999 with higher purity will be more valuable.
