Platinum vs gold in Salem
Per gram, platinum often sits below 24K gold, which surprises people given it's rarer. The reason is demand: far less platinum is bought as a store of value, so its price leans on jewellery and industrial use. Platinum is also about 10% denser than gold, so the same design weighs more — narrowing the gap on a finished piece. Platinum is a national rate, so Salem tracks the all-India price closely.
