Uh, well, they are two very different metals
No, it is not the same, as platinum and white gold are two very different metals. However, the biggest difference would be the price as platinum is more expensive than white gold. Platinum is a naturally white metal, is more durable and dense whereas white gold is not. White gold has a high maintenance cost also as it requires rhodium plating to keep it white. When it comes down to buying a platinum or white gold wedding ring, it all depends on your budget and what you can afford.
silver has a milky appearance, white gold is just that, it still has a 'gold' appearance, platinum is different just because of how the other 2 look.
White gold is the same thing as yellow gold just a different color, where as platinum is a more rare and precious metal making it far more valuable than gold.

White gold usually means platinum, and sometimes palladium. Silver is a different metal.
White Gold Is Harder.
White gold is yellow gold that is mixed with other metals and yellow gold is made in the same way, and the difference is only in the metals used. In order to make the gold white, it is combined with metal alloys that are white in nature and plated with an extremely hard element called rhodium. Platinum, on the other hand, is a white metal and is used in jewelry in its pure form. It is Platinum white, so it does not need to be rhodium plated like white gold does.
Real gold is yellowish in colour. The white gold is actually an alloy of gold with other metal(s) like platinum, palladium, rhodium, etc.
Yes, it can be done, but the more common thing is to rhodium plate it rather than platinum plate it. Rhodium is more dazzling, has more "bling", than anything else. And it's not prohibitively expensive $20 to $100 probably.
Platinum is more valuble because it is stronger. White gold is an alloy of gold and at least one white metal. Platinum is a pure metal.
Platinum is the the metal known as white gold.
