Does platinum tarnish like silver?
No, platinum does not tarnish, and because it does not, it is in high demand for use in the art, industrial and medical fields. It is one of the very few metals that does not cause allergies to the human body and is used in surgical situations for bone supports, pins and plates. Although platinum that does come in contact with certain chemicals can develop a darker patina, it can be easily removed by simple buffing by the jewelers at Ralph Miller Jewelers.
