K the difference between gold and platinum

K gold, also known as Kaijin, is an alloy formed by the fusion of gold and other metals. Platinum, English name platinum, referred to as Pt, is a natural white precious metal. Only platinum can be called platinum. Not all white metals are platinum.

In fact, from the above two concepts, we can see that first of all, they are two different substances. One refers to the alloy of gold; One is platinum, which is what we often call platinum.

Therefore, the difference between K gold and platinum is very obvious, because they do not refer to the same substance at all. Moreover, the price of gold is lower than that of platinum, and the price of K gold is generally lower than that of gold. Therefore, the price of K gold is not as expensive as platinum gold.

At the same time, K gold has a kind of white K gold, which may be a little similar to platinum in appearance, but on jewelry, white K gold cannot be marked with Pt (Platinum) mark, and can only be marked with gold and purity according to its purity. For example, 18K white K gold can only be marked with '18K' and 'g750'.

Which is better, K gold or platinum? It is easy to see that platinum is good, of course. K gold is an alloy formed by the fusion of gold and other precious metals. Therefore, it is also a kind of gold; But platinum is platinum, that is, we often say platinum rings, the price is higher than gold. Therefore, platinum is better than gold.

Of course, in terms of jewelry design, the production style of K gold may be much more beautiful than platinum, but platinum is still better in value.

In terms of investment, because K gold is an alloy, unless it contains enough gold, such as 22K gold, it will have a certain recovery value. Otherwise, for example, 18K gold or less, it only contains 75% gold, which is relatively inferior to platinum.

Therefore, platinum is better than gold in terms of jewelry.
