Sell Platinum for Cash — Top Dollar for Platinum Jewelry & Rings
Platinum is one of the most valuable precious metals. Get a free evaluation and top dollar for your platinum jewelry, rings, and watches.
Platinum is one of the most valuable precious metals — often worth more than gold. If you have platinum jewelry, engagement rings, wedding bands, or platinum watches, Astoria Gold Buyer Pawn Shop pays top dollar for your platinum items.
Platinum is denser than gold, so platinum jewelry weighs more than equivalent gold pieces. It's typically marked "PT" or "PLAT" followed by a purity number like "950" (95% pure) or "900" (90% pure). Platinum prices fluctuate independently of gold prices.
Identifying and Valuing Platinum
Platinum jewelry is typically marked with "PT", "PLAT", or "Platinum" followed by a purity number. Common marks include PT950 (95% pure), PT900 (90% pure), and PT850 (85% pure). We test every item to verify platinum content.
Like gold, platinum is valued based on the spot price, purity, and weight. A reputable buyer will test, weigh, and explain the calculation. Platinum engagement rings and wedding bands are the most common platinum items we purchase.
