Is platinum hard to sell?
This is because platinum provides a sturdy grip for diamonds and gemstones to keep them in place. Unfortunately, when the jewellery is still embedded with stones, it cannot be easily sold. The stones need to be removed to sell the platinum as a scrap precious metal first. Does platinum have resale value? Platinum also has poor resale value as only a limited number of shops buy it back. Besides, compared with gold jewellery, making charges, close to Rs 500 per gram, are much higher for platinum jewellery.
