well, no. You know that copper is not better that platinum. Copper fire 900c. and pure platinum fire over 2500c. Sincerely: Living Life Enterprises.
When a gold ring is dropped into a solution of copper nitrate, a redox reaction takes place where the gold would dissolve as gold ions, and copper from the copper nitrate would deposit onto the ring. This results in the gold ring becoming plated with a layer of copper.
The 5 rand coin in South Africa is typically made from a combination of metals, including copper and nickel. It has a nickel-plated copper center and a bronze outer ring.
If it's plating and not an alloy, it should depend on the thickness of the plating, since steel is attracted by magnets and copper is not.
US pennies are made of a copper-plated zinc composition. They are composed of 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper.
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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carat_(purity) http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=6681 http://engagementrings.pricescope.com/platinum.asp (just for a little extra platinum info) I hope all this helped :-/
