How to identify platinum jewelry and silver jewelry? Is there any easy way to identify platinum jewelry and silver jewelry? What are the differences between platinum and silver jewelry? China Jewelry Merchants Network Xiaobian organizes a simple and small method for identifying platinum jewelry and silver jewelry.

Platinum jewelry and silver jewelry are similar in color, and it is easy for an inexperienced person to confuse the two. Usually, we want others to think that our silverware is platinum, but if we mistakenly buy silver as platinum, it is not a little bit lost.

There are five ways to identify whether it is a platinum jewelry or a silver jewelry, which is described as follows:

Method 1: Comparison method

Platinum is grayish white when viewed by the naked eye. It has a hard texture and a hardness of 4.3. Silver is visible to the naked eye. The color is white, the texture is fine and smooth, the hardness is lower than that of platinum, and the hardness is 2.7.

Method 2: Identify the seal

Since each piece of jewelry must be engraved with a seal of ingredients, it is platinum as long as it is seen, or platinum when it sees Ptal; silver if you see S, or see Silver. In addition, note the copper silver plated symbol, which is SF.

Method 3: Weighing

This method can be used if the seal is blurred or the seal has been truncated. Platinum has a high density and a specific gravity of 21.4 kg/m3. The specific gravity of silver is 10.49 kg/m3. In this way, the same volume of silver weighs only half of platinum, and the two are easier to distinguish.

Method 4: Clarification

Sometimes when you encounter less material, the weight on your hand is not obvious, and there is no seal, then you have to use this method. Platinum is heated or fired. After cooling, the color is constant; while silver is heated or fired, after cooling, the color is red or black.

Method 5: Chemical Method

Grind platinum on the touchstone, mix a few drops of droplets with X and hydrochloric acid. If the wear scar exists, it means platinum. As for the color, there is some difference in color. If the droplet is on silver, the wear scar will be Dissolved.
