\u201cIs platinum the same thing as white gold?\u201d \u2013 \u201cBut isn\u2019t platinum more valuable than gold?\u201d \u2013 \u201cWhy should I go with jewellery made of platinum instead of white gold, or vice versa?\u201d. These are two very different materials which are perpetually confused with one another<\/strong>. Here\u2019s a brief overview of the main differences between platinum and white gold to clear things up, and help you make a final decision between the two!<\/p>\n

\"difference<\/a>

The biggest difference between platinum and white gold for us artisans is malleability.<\/p><\/div>\n

Industry and mass production <\/strong>\u2013 I never get tired of saying it \u2013 lead to a type of \u201cprecise uniformity\u201d which masks the jewellery\u2019s differences and unique characteristics. <\/strong>That\u2019s why industrial jewellery in platinum or white gold, which undergoes a process called rhodium plating, ends up with a very similar colour \u2013 a cool, shiny, silver look. Without this process, platinum has a greyish white colour, while white gold has a\u00a0warm golden hue. Additionally, platinum and white gold are two very different materials. White gold is actually a \u00a0750 stamped alloy<\/a>, meaning it\u2019s a compound of pure gold and another element \u2013 nickel, silver, or palladium. Platinum, on the other hand, like pure gold, is a naturally occurring metal and has its own spot on the Periodic Table of Elements.<\/p>\n

Platinum still enjoys its reputation as the non plus ultra<\/em> of the noble metals<\/strong>. Until a few years ago it was used for crafting precious jewelled ornaments, such as solitaires with diamonds. Platinum is clearly a \u201cgreat classic\u201d from its extraordinary prices. It\u2019s like pure gold, characterized by an almost complete chemical inertia, with a strong resistance to both corrosion and oxidation and is used in jewellery with 95% purity. Unlike the gold alloy, it\u2019s also highly hypoallergenic. On the other hand, this material, being less malleable than gold, is harder <\/strong>for artisans to work with.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One disadvantage of platinum is that the price is unstable, making gold seem like a \u201csafe haven\u201d, when platinum reaches dizzying prices. These two metals can be considered more or less equivalent<\/strong>, however, platinum has physical characteristics that make it almost impossible for an artisan to craft by hand: this is the biggest difference between platinum and white gold!<\/p>\n
