Selling Platinum Jewelry in NYC: What You Need to Know

Platinum is one of the most valuable precious metals, often worth more than gold. If you have platinum jewelry to sell in NYC, understanding how it's valued helps you get the best price.

Identifying Platinum

Platinum jewelry is typically marked with "PT" or "PLAT" followed by a purity number like "950" (95% pure) or "900" (90% pure). Platinum is denser than gold, so platinum jewelry weighs more than equivalent gold pieces.

How Platinum Is Valued

Like gold, platinum is valued based on the spot price, purity, and weight. Platinum prices fluctuate independently of gold prices. A reputable buyer will test, weigh, and explain the calculation.
