Can you colour platinum

Hi I'm a level six jewellery student and was wondering if anyone knows if you can colour platinum at all.

Try black platinum plating, or black rhodium [adv: black rhodium plating solution on eBay or Amazon [affil links] or even nickel. Hope it helps and good luck!

Platinum cannot be colored. Black platinum is caused by improper plating techniques and the platinum bath is thereby completely ruined.
