Let us examine, by points, how platinum can be distinguished from other metals that may be similar to it.

1. Popular white gold differs from platinum in that the latter is snow-white by nature. Gold, on the other hand, acquires a similar coloring due to special impurities (palladium, nickel, silver). More recently, it has been discovered that nickel can cause allergic reactions, so it is often replaced with palladium. Gold often has a rhodium coating to make it appear more silvery. Over time, it always fades.
2. Platinum will always be a cleaner metal than other precious materials. It has a high breakdown (950), which means that its composition is almost absent from impurities of other metals. This indicates that platinum products cannot cause allergic reactions. Decorations of 900 or 850 samples, which differ in more dull surfaces, are much less common on sale. Gold is noted by other samples - 500, 585 (at best - 750).
3. White gold items are lighter rather than platinum jewelry.
4. Gold is a soft material, unlike platinum.
5. It is easiest to distinguish platinum from inexpensive silver. The latter metal is ductile and soft (softer than gold). Platinum is several times denser.

Consider how to independently verify the true origin of the material.

1. Look at the stamp stamp. On a product of high quality he will always be present.
2. Jewelry made of platinum is always heavierthan products from other precious metals. It is worth taking the jewelry in your hand and comparing it with others in order to understand which option will be more difficult.
3. Platinum is an expensive material so large products are hardly made of it. If you were offered a chic massive chain with a tempting discount, you should not agree, of course - you are not platinum.
4. At home, you can check the metal for a tooth (literally). The same silver will turn out to be so soft that traces will surely remain on it. On the platinum, however, there will not be a single mark after such a check - it is quite dense and strong.
5. Sometimes in the composition of platinum there is such a component as cobalt. It gives products a higher strength and density. This component is a ferromagnet, so the thing can eventually be magnetized. Products made of silver and gold will not be magnetized.
