<hr><P><b>Comments:</b></p>Platinum was never less that 85% pure under any definition. Well, now platinum is being DOPED! Large metal manufacturers are taking pure platinum and cutting it with copper and cobalt! The product is being sold as 585 platinum. DO NOT ALLOW DOPED PLATINUM, IT DECEIVES CONSUMERS.</body></html>
