Platina 4, or P4, is a unique precious metal alloy that incorporates gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. In this presentation, you can learn more about Platina 4 creation and its advantages over other jewelry metals.
2. Addressing Consumer Needs
• Starting in 2007, the
price of gold began to
rise to record-setting
levels.
• With no signs of
stopping, precious
metal prices continued
to soar – creating a negative impact on the jewelry
industry and consumer demand.
• To address these cost concerns, ABI Precious Metals
created a proprietary alloy called Platina 4.
3. What is Platina 4?
• Platina 4, or P4, is a unique precious metal alloy
that incorporates gold, silver, platinum, and
palladium.
• ABI created the blend to give consumers an inexpensive
alternative to gold jewelry.

4. What is Platina 4 Made of?
The principle elements in the platina 4 alloy are:
• Silver: 80.2%
• Palladium: 6.2%
• Gold: .27%
• Platinum: .12%
• The rest is a proprietary alloy that makes Platina 4
more resistant to corrosion and oxidation.
5. Advantages of Platina 4
Jewelry
Platina 4:
• Looks identical to white gold, but doesn’t require
rhodium plating
• Is more scratch resistant than 14k gold
• More tarnish resistant than sterling silver
• Can be easily polished and resized, unlike pure
platinum
6. Cost-Effectiveness of Platina 4
• Platina 4 costs about one-third of the price of 14k
gold.
• But remember, even though it’s pitched as “gold-like,”
Platina 4 does not qualify as a gold alloy because it
contains only a very small amount of gold.
• Gold or not, Platina 4 is an interesting alloy that can
be a great choice for either the budget-minded
jewelry consumer, or one who wants precious
metal jewelry that doesn’t require much
maintenance.
