Let's take a look at 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 acquires a similar color due to special impurities (palladium, nickel, silver). Nickel has recently been found to cause allergic reactions and is often replaced with palladium. Gold is often rhodium-plated to give it a more silvery hue. It always fades over time.
2. Platinum will always be a purer metal than other precious materials. It has a high breakdown (950), which means that there are almost no impurities of other metals in its composition. This indicates that platinum products cannot cause allergic reactions. Much less often, 900 or 850 samples are on sale, which are distinguished by dull surfaces. Gold is marked with other samples - 500, 585 (at best - 750).
3. White gold items turn out to be lighter, rather than platinum jewelry.
4. Gold is a soft material unlike platinum.
5. Platinum is the easiest to distinguish from inexpensive silver. The latter metal is ductile and soft (softer than gold). Platinum turns out to be several times denser.

Consider how you can independently verify the true origin of the material.

1. Look at the sample stamp... It will always be present on a high quality product.
2. Platinum jewelry is always more difficultrather than products made of other precious metals. It is worth taking the jewelry in hand and comparing it with others in order to understand which option will be more difficult.
3. Platinum is an expensive material therefore large items are almost never made from it. If you were offered a chic massive chain with a tempting discount, of course, you shouldn't agree - this is not platinum.
4. At home, you can test metal for a tooth (literally). The same silver will turn out to be so soft that traces will definitely remain on it. On the platinum, on the other hand, not a single mark will remain after such a check - it is quite dense and durable.
5. Sometimes platinum contains a component such as cobalt. It gives products a higher strength and density. This component is a ferromagnet, so the thing can eventually magnetise. Items made of silver and gold will not be magnetised.
