Platinum purity: what a Pt950 declaration means

Read the item declaration and separate a fine-metal reference from a jewellery quotation.

Understand the declaration

Pt950 denotes a declared platinum proportion of 950 parts per thousand, or 95%. Platinum Guild India's own quality programme describes Pt950 marking and supporting documentation. That programme is not a statement that this website or every platinum item is certified.

A reference is not a finished item

Our platinum reference is converted from the provider's XPT observation into INR per gram. It is not a Pt950 retail quotation. Product design, fabrication, other materials and the seller's terms affect the invoice. Do not describe a theoretical content conversion as a dealer offer.

Obtain the right purchase and resale inputs

Ask for declared fineness, net metal weight, a purity-specific rate and itemised charges. Request buyback terms separately, including assessment and deductions. Use the platinum calculator with the rate actually quoted for the item; leave unsupported assumptions out rather than guessing.
