Broken Platinum Jewelry
Damaged, incomplete or unwanted platinum jewelry can still retain precious-metal value.
Platinum Scrap
Platinum scrap and mixed lots may require testing or additional analysis to determine actual platinum content.
Platinum Value
What determines what your platinum may be worth?
The value of platinum jewelry or scrap is influenced by more than the fact that it looks silver-colored. Purity, weight, current platinum prices and the type of item all matter.
The percentage of platinum in the alloy is a major component of underlying precious-metal value.
Once purity is understood, the amount of platinum in the item helps determine its metal value.
Precious-metal prices change, so a current evaluation matters more than an old estimate or receipt.
Diamonds, other stones, estate characteristics or a distinctive finished piece may deserve consideration beyond metal content alone.
Understanding Platinum Jewelry
What do 950, 900 and platinum hallmarks mean?
Platinum jewelry is commonly made from platinum combined with other metals. Marks such as 950 or 900 can indicate the proportion of platinum in an alloy, and some pieces may also carry marks such as Pt or Plat.
A stamp is useful information, but you do not need to identify the purity before your appointment. Hallmarks can be worn, difficult to read or absent, and an evaluation should consider the item itself rather than relying on a marking alone.
Why platinum can feel different from other white metals
Platinum is a dense precious metal, so platinum jewelry can feel substantial for its size. Appearance alone is not enough to distinguish platinum from white gold, silver or other light-colored metals.

Platinum Scrap
Selling platinum scrap or a mixed lot?
