Girls with platinum rings

What is your ring marked with??

I just got my ring reset into a palladium band. I considered platinum, but it was a lot more money and pall. has almost the same qualities but it's cheaper.

HOWEVER ...

My sister was looking at it on Saturday and said, 'Why is marked PLAT?'

My jeweler is a friend of ours, my FH does work on his car for him, but i don't think he would shell out the extra bucks to make it platinum. I need to get it appraised and need to know what it is, and I also want to make sure my wedding band matches ... so I will ask him what's up ... but I am just curious as to what yours says if you have platinum.

I read online that there should be a number in front of PLAT to say how much platinum it is -- 950 PLAT means 95% pure platinum, which means it's a completely platinum ring ... 850 is 85% ... etc. Then, I read somewhere else that just PLAT could mean it's all platinum. Palladium is part of the PMG, or platinum metals group, so maybe it just says PLAT because it is related to platinum???
