Platinum Jewelry Deserves More Than a Gold Template
Billing, inventory, and pricing for platinum — with the purity precision and customer education tools that platinum retail actually requires
Platinum is not gold. The pricing is different, the purities are different, the customer is different, and the selling conversation is different. JewelPro handles platinum as its own discipline — not as a workaround inside a gold-first system.
Overview
How JewelPro Handles Platinum Differently
Platinum jewelry retail has unique demands that gold-first software ignores. Platinum trades at a different rate to gold — sometimes above, sometimes below — and that relationship is not fixed. Platinum purities are 950, 900, and 850 parts per thousand, not the 22K/18K system. Platinum customers are a different buyer profile — younger, purchase-occasion driven, and requiring more category education at the counter. JewelPro is built to handle all of it.
- Dedicated platinum rate feed — PT950, PT900, PT850 auto-calculated
- Separate platinum inventory with ppt-based purity tracking
- Platinum-specific invoice format with correct labelling
- Mixed metal support — platinum + gold pieces in one transaction
- Platinum care and certification documentation per piece
- Platinum Guild International (PGI) marketing asset integration

Challenges
What Goes Wrong When Platinum Is Treated Like Gold
Specific problems platinum retailers face with gold-first software
01
CRITICALPlatinum Rate Moves Independently of Gold
Platinum and gold rates have no fixed relationship. Platinum can trade at a premium or discount to gold, and the spread changes. Software that derives platinum rates from gold rates will be wrong whenever that relationship shifts — which is often.
Dedicated platinum rate feed independent of gold. PT950, PT900, and PT850 rates calculated from the platinum base rate using correct ppt fractions. Rates updated from spot market data. No derivation from gold, no inherited rate errors.
02
PT950 vs 18K — Purity Systems Do Not Map to Each Other
Platinum uses parts-per-thousand (ppt) purity — 950, 900, 850. Gold uses karats — 22K, 18K. Software designed for gold forces platinum into a karat field, producing wrong purity labels on invoices and confusing customer-facing paperwork.
Separate platinum purity system — PT950, PT900, PT850 — stored and displayed correctly throughout the system. Invoices show "PT950" not "22K". Inventory reports use ppt notation. No karat-to-ppt mapping errors.
03
The Platinum Selling Conversation Is Different
Platinum customers are often first-time buyers or occasion-driven purchasers — engagements, anniversaries, gifting. They ask more questions: Is this really platinum? What purity? How is it different from white gold? Staff without the right tools cannot have this conversation confidently.
Counter-level product cards showing platinum purity, weight, certification, and care instructions. PGI-certified piece indicators. Staff training prompts built into the billing flow for first-time platinum buyers.
04
Mixed Metal Transactions Are Billed Incorrectly
A customer buys a platinum ring with a diamond and a gold chain in the same transaction. The ring needs platinum rates and ppt purity on the invoice; the chain needs gold rates and karat purity. Most software cannot handle this cleanly in one bill.
Single transaction handling for mixed metal purchases. Each item on the invoice shows its own metal, purity, rate, and metal value. GST applied correctly per component. One clean invoice, no separate bills.
05
Platinum Requires More Documentation Per Piece
PGI-certified platinum pieces come with certificates. Hallmarked platinum has a PT stamp. Customers increasingly want documentation of what they bought. Managing certificates alongside inventory is manual and often incomplete.
Certificate and documentation management per piece — PGI certificate number, hallmark stamp, care card linkage. Documentation stored in inventory and referenced on invoice. Customers receive a digital copy with their receipt.
06
Platinum Performance Is Invisible in Gold-Heavy Reports
A retailer selling mostly gold with some platinum sees platinum buried inside general reports. Platinum volume, platinum making charge income, and platinum vs gold product mix are invisible — so platinum gets no management attention and therefore no growth.
Metal-type reports that surface platinum performance separately — platinum revenue, platinum grams sold, platinum making charge income, and platinum as a percentage of total sales. Visible performance gets managed. Managed performance grows.

Case Studies
Platinum Retailers Who Got It Right With JewelPro
Accuracy and growth from businesses that take platinum seriously
Aura Fine Jewellery
Pune, Maharashtra
"We were using gold billing software and mapping platinum to "18K" because there was no other option. Customers would get invoices saying 18K for a PT950 piece. It was embarrassing and legally incorrect. JewelPro was the first platform where platinum was actually platinum — correct purity, correct rate, correct invoice. We switched in two days."
Neha Kulkarni · Owner
Results
- Correct PT950/900/850 labelling on all invoices immediately
- Customer confusion about "18K" label eliminated
- Mixed metal transactions in one bill — no more dual invoices
- Platinum category revenue up 34% in 6 months after correct positioning
The Platinum Studio
Bengaluru, Karnataka
"We are a platinum-only store. Every other jewelry software we tried was fundamentally a gold system with platinum bolted on. Platinum rates were derived from gold, purity was in karats, and reports mixed everything together. JewelPro treats platinum as the primary product it is for us."
Rohit Verma · Founder
Results
- First software where platinum is genuinely primary, not secondary
- Independent platinum rate feed — no gold dependency
- PGI certification tracking across entire 600-piece inventory
- Platinum-only MIS reports for the first time
Meenakshi Gold & Platinum
Chennai, Tamil Nadu
"We sell about 70% gold and 30% platinum. In our old system, platinum was invisible in reports — everything was lumped together. JewelPro showed us that our platinum category had better making charge margins than gold but we were giving it less floor space and staff attention. That data changed our strategy."
Sundar Krishnan · Owner
Results
- Platinum identified as higher-margin category for first time
- Platinum floor space allocation increased based on data
- Platinum revenue grew from 30% to 41% of total in one year
- Metal-mix reporting now a weekly management review item

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
No. JewelPro's platinum rate feed is completely independent of gold. Platinum spot rates are sourced from international precious metal market feeds. PT950, PT900, and PT850 rates are calculated by multiplying the base platinum rate by 0.950, 0.900, and 0.850 respectively. The platinum rate can move independently of gold in either direction without any rate errors.
Yes. JewelPro handles multi-metal operations natively. Gold inventory uses the karat system (22K, 18K, 14K); platinum inventory uses the ppt system (PT950, PT900, PT850). Each metal has its own rate feed. Reports show each metal separately and combined. You can bill gold and platinum in the same transaction with correct per-item breakup.
When a customer buys a platinum ring and a gold chain in the same transaction, you add both to the same bill. Each item carries its own metal type, purity, rate, and making charges. The invoice itemises both clearly — PT950 ring with platinum rate, 22K chain with gold rate — with separate GST calculations per component and a single total. No need for two separate invoices.
When platinum stock is received, you enter the PGI certificate number (if applicable) against the piece in inventory. This certificate reference is stored with the piece, appears on its inventory record, and auto-populates on the invoice when the piece is sold. The customer's WhatsApp receipt also carries the certificate reference. You can search your entire stock by PGI certificate number.
JewelPro supports PT950 (95% pure), PT900 (90% pure), and PT850 (85% pure) as standard platinum purity grades. These are the BIS-recognised hallmarking grades for platinum in India. Custom purity values can also be entered for non-standard pieces. All purity values are stored and displayed in ppt notation throughout — on inventory records, billing screens, and invoices.
GST on platinum jewelry follows the same 3% rate applicable to gold and precious metal jewelry in India, applied on the total transaction value. For mixed making charge treatment (separate GST on making charges), JewelPro supports the same invoice formats available for gold. As always, confirm the applicable treatment for your specific transaction types with your CA.
Yes. Platinum inventory is tracked per piece with gross weight, stone weight, and net platinum weight. JewelPro also calculates the fine platinum equivalent (at PT1000 / 999ppt basis) for each piece, giving you a consistent gram measure across pieces of different purities. Stock reports show total platinum in grams and in rupees at today's rates.
Platinum making charge templates are configured separately from gold. You set per-gram or percentage making charges per platinum product category independently. When a platinum piece is billed, its platinum-specific making charge template is applied — no cross-contamination with gold making charge rates. Separate making charge income reports exist for platinum and gold.
Yes. JewelPro supports silver as a third metal type with its own rate feed, purity system (925, 900, 800 sterling grades), and inventory tracking. Businesses selling gold, platinum, and silver can manage all three from one account with separate rate feeds, separate inventory views, and per-metal performance reports.
