    A time when platinum was twice as expensive as Gold.
    Now Gold is higher. At least in India it is.

    "If you want to show her that you love her. A engagement ring is a nice touch"
    In my opinion you only need three ways to show her that you love her.
    The way you touch her, speak to her and look at her (and it is free) :)

    Platinum is not, (at the time of this comment), "worth twice it's weight in gold". Actually the two are around the same price range. The entire platinum series of elements are actually all fairly expensive, (palladium being among the cheaper of them). Also, as far as I know, high purity Au does not change in color as it is non reactive with most everything in the air.

      AKR, you're right if you're saying that rhodium is worth less than platinum at the moment. But Gold is worth about $300 per ounce more than platinum at the moment.
      Also, I stand by what I said. These are valuable precious metals. And while the video was correct (at the time it was produced), if it meant to say that platinum was the most valuable precious metal in the world... it's completely wrong to say that it's the most valuable metal in the world. There are plenty of metallic isotopes and radioactive metals that are worth FAR more than platinum per ounce.

      Exactly.
      People don't know how easy it is to clean gold and silver. 20 seconds with a $5 cloth and it looks brilliant, whereas platinum requires specialized polishing methods...you could polish it the normal way with any old jeweler, but since platinum alloys are SOFTER than yellow/red/white gold alloys you'd lose lots of monetary value and your shank would thin alarmingly fast.

    narrator's choice of wording is pretty crap on this one. I want to hear about the process of ring making not about how expensive it is to gift to a girlfriend
    if it was going to have to be mentioned that way he could have at least gone and said fiancee/fiance(can't remember which is which now)

    • @izabellaodom6753
      @izabellaodom6753 5 років тому

      Well to be fair the whole video is about making a platinum ring, which is usually given as a proposal. If fiancee was used, that implies that the viewer has already proposed and thus the information on the creation of the ring is completely useless. But by using girlfriend, it serves to say "hey you might want to propose to your girlfriend, but give her a platinum ring while you're at it. Oh by the way, here's how those are made." Its all semantics really but your complaint about the wording is rendered invalid.

    No not even close Platinum has never been the most valuable metal in the modern world. Even if you look over the last decade it competes with gold on value per oz. Much less metals that fetch 100x the price per oz. because they barely exist in this world at all.
