Best Answer

Yes, if you are comparing a specific diamond to a specific amount of platinum and whether or not it is a setting for a stone or just a lump of metal. The value of a diamond depends on the quality of the individual stone which is based on clarity, cut and color. Platinum is the most valuable metal on earth, but it is weighed differently than diamonds. There is also value of the workmanship when talking about platinum such as in the design of the mounting for a ring or other piece of jewelry. On the whole comparing the value of diamonds and platinum is much like comparing apples to Oranges.

You cannot really compare the two as one in a gemstone and the other is metal. Both have qualities that add value to the price.
