แหวนทองขาวกับแหวนแพลตตินัมต่างกันอย่างไร

Platinum rings are made from platinum minerals that naturally occur underground, but are harder to find than gold. They can be found in Russia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe, and are often found together with diamonds. Platinum rings are never corroded and will maintain their original white color without peeling off like white gold rings. However, platinum rings are less resistant to surface scratches (Hardness) than white gold rings because platinum rings must be made from pure minerals up to 95%. Therefore, only 2% -5% are other metals that help make the ring harder. These marks are called Patina. However, the patina marks are not scraping the platinum away to lose its weight like gold. However, these marks will make the ring not shiny and have scratches that make it look old, but still maintain its beauty. Some people see this mark as the charm of platinum rings, like a collectible with a story.

White gold is called “White Gold” in English.
It is the process of mixing gold ore with other minerals to make the gold stronger and lighter in color. Because pure gold ore is very soft, it cannot be used to make a frame to support gemstones such as diamonds. Therefore, the strength of the gold must be increased by mixing with minerals such as silver or palladium to make the gold stronger and lighter in color.
