In order to calculate a price for a Platinum item, the live Platinum price is applied to the weight of pure or fine Platinum in an item, rather than the overall weight of the product. For example, if the spot price of Platinum was £24 per gram, and you have a .950 Platinum ring weighing 7 grams, the item would be worth roughly £159.60. (24.00 x 7 x .950 = 159.60)
