Platinum is costlier than Diamond . Diamond has variety of qualities to assign its price, but pt is an inert metal. Platinum is a very rare and is a naturally white metal. The platinum that is usually used in jewellery is around 95% pure and is much heavier and much harder than white gold. so pt is costlier.
