How do gold and silver jewelry pieces compare with platinum items?
Silver and gold jewelry is prone to scratching over time, so these pieces will eventually show wear. However, because platinum is such a remarkably strong metal, it is less susceptible to scratching and other signs of wear. Platinum does not chip or splinter like gold and silver jewels either. On the other hand, unlike gold and silver jewelry, platinum pieces will gradually develop a patina of wear that diminishes the metal’s shine.
