Tips to buy platinum jewelry

Posted by Emma William on October 26, 2009 at 1:14am in Miscellaneous Fashion Topics
When you decide to purchase a high quality piece of jewelry, platinum is always a good choice because it is very strong and durable. This also makes it an excellent setting for diamonds and other precious gemstones. In addition, platinum is more pure than other types of precious metal. Tips to Buy Platinum: 1.Look for markings that will assure you of the quality of your platinum, which includes 950 Plat, 950Pt, Pt950, Plat, 900Pt, Pt900, or 900Plat. 2.Understand that each of these markings refers to the percentage of platinum used in the piece. 3.Expect platinum to cost more than gold or white gold, but know that in return it will be more durable and will hold up to everyday wear well. 4.Realize that unlike gold, platinum will not oxidize, fade and change color over time. It will also hold on to its luster longer. 5.Try on different platinum styles and see what suits your taste and your budget. 6.Select a platinum jewelry piece that you will feel good wearing for many years to come. 7.If you don't see anything you love, shop around or talk to a reputatable jeweler about designing your own piece. 8.Ask for a written appraisal of your jewelry at the time of sale, or have it appraised separately to confirm the value. ************************ Platinum Jewelry, Platinum Engagement Rings
