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.
Gold
This is a partial quote from the Wikipedia, "Palladium, along with platinum, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium and osmium form a group of elements referred to as the platinum group metals (PGMs). Platinum group metals share similar chemical properties, but palladium has the lowest melting point and is the least dense of these precious metals." Please see the related link for more information on palladium. You may want to contact a jeweler for a price per ounce comparision with platinum. You can avoid manually calculating the value of palladium if you have an iPhone or iPod by using an app called Pennyweight. Simply entering the weight and selecting the purity will automatically calculate the value of palladium based on the current market price.
White gold is an alloy typically made of gold and white metals such as nickel, silver, or palladium to give it a white color. It is commonly used in jewelry as a more affordable alternative to platinum.
Platinum is an inert metal that is more expensive than gold. It is known for its high value, resistance to corrosion, and diverse industrial applications.

Palladium is more durable and harder than gold. Palladium is usually an attractive alternative for platinum and white gold. Palladium is also hypo allergenic so when you wear this type of metal, you will never experience any discomforts or allergies.
Platinum tends to be worth more than gold by weight, but as prices fluctuate, sometimes the gold price does go higher than the platinum price. Silver, at least in recent history (probably all of history) is worth significantly less than both gold and platinum.
White gold is an alloy of gold mixed with white metals like nickel, palladium, or silver, while platinum is a naturally white metal. Platinum is denser, more durable, and rarer than white gold, making it more valuable. White gold requires periodic rhodium plating to maintain its white appearance, whereas platinum does not need this maintenance.
Hydrochloric acid has a more dramatic effect on palladium compared to platinum. Palladium forms soluble complexes with hydrochloric acid, while platinum is more resistant to attack and does not readily form soluble compounds with hydrochloric acid.
Palladium is similar in appearance to white gold, but since it does not have nickel as one of its ingredients, palladium is hypoallergenic. Palladium is considered a lightweight metal, similar in weight to 14K gold. Palladium metal can coat a ring or the ring can be "950 palladium," 95% palladium and 5% ruthenium, with possibly other traces of metal.
As of the current market dynamics, palladium is typically more expensive than gold. This is due to the rarity of palladium compared to gold and its increasing demand in industries such as automotive manufacturing for catalytic converters.
Yes, there are several metals that are more valuable than gold, such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. These metals are rarer and have unique properties that make them highly sought after for various industrial and technological applications.
White gold is an alloy made by mixing gold with white metals like nickel or palladium, giving it a silver appearance. Platinum, on the other hand, is a naturally white metal that is denser and more durable than white gold. Platinum is also more rare and therefore more expensive than white gold.
8-15-11>>> Yes, right now gold is $1,738.80 per ounce, platinum is $1,794.00 per ounce.
It's worth more because it is used more and Minned more at the moment in Jewellery especially
Palladium is mixed with gold to create white gold, which is a popular alternative to traditional yellow gold. Palladium helps to whiten the gold and make it more durable, while maintaining a similar luster and shine as yellow gold. The resulting white gold alloy is often used in jewelry making.
Some elements that are more valuable than gold include platinum, rhodium, and palladium. These elements are considered more valuable due to their rarity, properties, and demand in industrial applications such as catalytic converters.
