What is the difference in value of sterling silver platinum and titanium?

== == Silver sterling, silver platinum and titanium are all metals of approximately the same color and brilliance. Silver is a base metal. You can mine for silver out of the earth. When talking about jewelery, silver (without any qualifiers) denotes that it has some silver in it. No guarantees can be made about how much silver is in the piece. Silver-plated means that the object is made of some other metal (such as zinc or copper) and then a thin layer of silver is applied to the outer surface of the object. Sterling silver means that the object is made of a minimum of 92.5% real silver. It is often called 925 silver, or 92.5% silver for that reason. Sterling silver has a hallmark stamped on it representing 925. Platinum is a completely different metal, which is found naturally in the earth. It is relatively rare, about 35 times rarer than gold. Titanium is also found naturally, but usually along with other minerals. Its notable feature is that it is as strong as steel but only has 60% of its weight.
