What does it mean when a ring has 750 and pt950 is the ring a combination of 18k gold and platinum or is it platinum plated?
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.
