I heard that silver products are plated with platinum.
As I found out, there are places that use nickel instead of platinum, and places that use rhodium.
Then isn't it platinum but other metal plating?
Platinum actually exists.
Platinum plating on the product What metal does it actually plating?

Platinum is a platinum group of metals.
Platinum metal refers to six metallic elements: ruthenium (Ru), osmium (Os), rhodium (Rh), iridium (Ir), palladium (Pd), and platinum (Pt).
Among them, rhodium and palladium are commonly used for precious metal plating.
If it is expensive, it uses rhodium or palladium, and if it is a cheap product, nickel plating is also used.
In the case of nickel, allergic reactions often occur, and rhodium or palladium does not.
