pt950 means that the ring is Platinum (PT on the Periodic Table) and 950/1000 for purity which makes it 95% pure platinum. 18 karats is about 75% of the precious metal, and 25% something else, so the platinum component in your ring is almost 24 karats, very pure, only 5% non-precious metal. The 750 on your ring should bereferring to gold, in that your gold is 18 karat, IE 75% precious metal. Usually when I've seen markings for platinum and gold, it means the ring is 2 tone, is that the case here? It should have both gold and platinum visible on it? I am in no way an expert, but this is the information as i know and understand it. Here are some links that might help clarify for you.

Is white gold also known as platinum?
White gold is yellow gold that is mixed with other metals and yellow gold is made in the same way, and the difference is only in the metals used. In order to make the gold white, it is combined with metal alloys that are white in nature and plated with an extremely hard element called rhodium. Platinum, on the other hand, is a white metal and is used in jewelry in its pure form. It is Platinum white, so it does not need to be rhodium plated like white gold does.
