How can you tell if platinum is real?

Answer

Platinum is rarer, heavier, more durable and even more expensive than gold. It is also very dense, therefore showing fewer scratches and requiring MUCH LESS UPKEEP than other precious metals! The appeal of platinum is in its appearance. Its white luster is unique and also the strongest precious metal. It is almost twice as heavy as 14-karat gold. The metal appears silvery-white when pure, and firm. The metal is corrosion-resistant. If you suspect a fake, bounce the jewelry in your hand and judge how heavy it feels in comparison to a gold jewelry. If it feels a lot heavier, it probably is platinum.
