Frequently Asked Questions

All You Need to Know About Platinum Chains

Why choose platinum for a chain?

Why Platinum?

Platinum is as good as it gets for metal. It's naturally white—no plating that wears off like white gold. It won't irritate your skin. It's incredibly strong and doesn't wear down over time. And it's rare—about 30 times rarer than gold. If you want the best, this is it.

  • Stays white, no replating needed
  • Won't cause skin reactions
  • Tough and long-lasting
  • Doesn't wear away like gold can
  • Much rarer than gold
How does platinum compare to white gold?

Platinum vs. White Gold

They look similar at first glance, but they're different. White gold is actually yellow gold mixed with white metals, then coated with rhodium. That coating wears off and needs redoing. Platinum is white on its own and stays that way. It's also heavier, stronger, and costs more.

  • Platinum: Naturally white, permanent color
  • White Gold: Needs replating every few years
  • Platinum: Heavier, more substantial
  • White Gold: Easier on the wallet
  • Platinum: Better if you have allergies
What chain styles are available in platinum?

Platinum Chain Options

Platinum works with any chain style. Its bright white color makes classic designs like cable and box chains look sharp. It's strong enough for more intricate styles too—Franco chains, wheat chains, whatever you want. The craftsmanship shows because the metal holds up so well.

  • Cable Chain: Simple, works great with pendants
  • Box Chain: Square links, very sturdy
  • Franco Chain: Lays flat, Italian style
  • Wheat Chain: Detailed, elegant
  • Figaro Chain: Alternating links, classic look
Is platinum heavy to wear?

About the Weight

Platinum is dense—about 60% heavier than 14K gold. The same chain in platinum feels noticeably heavier. Most people like it; it feels substantial, like quality. If you're not used to it, start with a thinner chain. You'll probably adjust quickly.

  • About 60% heavier than 14K gold
  • Many people prefer the solid feel
  • Thinner chains are lighter if weight concerns you
  • Most people get used to it fast
  • Moderate thickness is comfortable all day
How do I care for platinum chains?

Maintenance

Platinum develops a soft patina over time—some people love it, others prefer the original polish. Either way, care is easy. Soap and water for regular cleaning. A jeweler can polish it back to bright if you want that. Store it separately so it doesn't scratch other pieces (or get scratched by them).

  • Clean with soap and warm water
  • Soft brush for any detailed areas
  • Professional polish brings back the shine
  • Store it on its own
  • Patina is a personal preference

Buyer's Guide

Platinum Chains Buying Guide

Platinum is the pinnacle of chain metals—rarer than gold, naturally white, and incredibly durable. It costs more for good reason. Here's what you need to know.

Why Platinum?

Platinum offers advantages no other metal can match:

Purity: Jewelry platinum is typically 95% pure (compared to 58-75% for gold alloys).
Durability: Doesn't wear away over time—metal that scratches off stays in the piece.
Hypoallergenic: Won't cause skin reactions. The safest metal for sensitive skin.
Natural color: Stays white forever. No rhodium plating needed like white gold.
Prestige: The premier choice for fine jewelry.

The main drawback is weight—platinum is dense, so chains feel heavier than gold.

Platinum vs. White Gold

Both look similar, but they're very different:

Color longevity: Platinum stays white naturally. White gold needs periodic rhodium replating.

Durability: Platinum displaces rather than wears away. Scratches can be polished out without losing metal.

Weight: Platinum is heavier—some love this, others don't.

Price: Platinum costs 40-60% more than white gold for equivalent pieces.

Maintenance: Platinum develops a natural patina over time. Some like it; others prefer to have it polished.

For chains you'll wear daily for decades, platinum's durability often justifies the premium.

Best Chain Styles in Platinum

Platinum's strength makes it excellent for:

Cable chains: Classic look, showcases platinum's shine.
Box chains: Clean lines, very durable.
Wheat chains: Flexible and comfortable.
Curb chains: Bold look, handles weight well.

Platinum allows for thinner, more delicate chains than gold because of its superior strength. A thin platinum chain can be worn daily where an equivalent gold chain might be too fragile.

Understanding Platinum Grades

PT950: 95% platinum, 5% other metals. The standard for jewelry.
PT900: 90% platinum. Slightly harder, still excellent.
PT850: 85% platinum. Less common, still valuable.

Higher numbers mean more platinum content. PT950 is the most common and offers the best balance of purity and workability.

Look for the stamp on your chain—"PT950," "950 Plat," or similar markings.

Care and the Patina Question

Platinum develops a "patina"—a soft, satiny finish from micro-scratches. Some people love this lived-in look; others prefer high polish.

If you like patina: Just wear it. The look develops naturally.

If you prefer shine: Periodic professional polishing restores the mirror finish. Unlike gold, you're not losing metal—just re-smoothing the surface.

Cleaning: Warm soapy water and soft cloth work fine. Platinum is tough but deserves gentle care.

Investment Perspective

Platinum is about 30 times rarer than gold:

Value stability: Platinum prices fluctuate but the metal holds intrinsic value.
Longevity: A platinum chain can last multiple generations with proper care.
Resale: Pure platinum content (95%) makes value calculation straightforward.

For heirloom pieces meant to be passed down, platinum's durability and timeless appeal make it the strongest choice.
