The Platinum Post

I am curious by nature.  I found a video, on YouTube on how Platinum is made:

Platinum VS White Gold:

This one, I wish to have seen it sooner.  I do have a white gold ring with a diamond on it.  I had the dilemma between platinum and white gold.  I have been told it would be more economical to go with the white gold.  I didn't knew there was other consideration.  I knew, at the time, that platinum was more expansive than white gold.  Nothing more.

Platinum journey:

It is a bit sugar and sweet.  I was wondering where it was mined, where it's origin.

I think I learned a few things with these videos.  I didn't knew it needed extra special experience to work with Platinum.  I worked a lot with silver, which is my favorite metal.  I thought that platinum was cool too, but more for stones that can't go on with silver.  I never got the chance to work with it in the few classes I took.  There was no ones who worked with platinum in the classes I had.  I thought it was mainly because it was expansive.  Now, I wonder if there was some who tried to work with it but got turned to other options.  I wonder if platinum is sold.  I know I had bought silver.  I never ask or probed for platinum.  I feel knowing more.  At the same time, there are a few things that have a wonder after taste, while I think back.  I may ask a few questions if I take a jewelry class, one where I will work on metal like platinum and silver.
