Satin nickel is a dull finish, wheras chrome is shiny. The other difference is satin nickel is grey and chrome is merely reflective and has no color
The brushed nickel is nickel plating on brass that has been lacquer coated and made to appear matte or dull. The brushed texture limits the ability of fluid to bead on the material surface. The main difference between the two is a slight color difference.
By the color, obviously. NIckel plated flutes are slightly golden and well, silver plated, they have silver color.
The physical difference between silver and platinum is in terms of color. Pure silver is more whitish in color while platinum is more grayish than white. Silver has a lower density than platinum.
Because Platinum is so unbelievably expensive that chances are, it's nickel. You probably mean Palladium, not Platinum. The only way to tell for sure is to do a scratch test at a jewelry store where they will scratch a microscopic bit off the metal off and react it with a chemical to test it.
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.
Brass is a yellow-colored alloy made from copper and zinc, while nickel is a silver-colored metal with a slight blue tint. Brass tends to have a warmer tone and is less shiny than nickel. You can differentiate between the two by comparing their color, shine, and possibly using a magnet (nickel is magnetic, while brass is not).
White gold is an alloy made by mixing gold with white metals like nickel or palladium, giving it a silver appearance. Platinum, on the other hand, is a naturally white metal that is denser and more durable than white gold. Platinum is also more rare and therefore more expensive than white gold.
Nickel is a metallic and silver-ish color, just like the US coin, the nickel (worth 5 cents).
One of the easiest ways to tell the difference between stainless steel and platinum jewelry is by the markings. Platinum will have a marking such as "Plat", "PT", or will have "Platinum" etched in the piece.
There is basically no difference between Japanese hair and American. The only difference is the color, Japanese tends to have darker brown color, where as American have bronze color.
The color of a US nickel is silverish. US nickels are actually made of 75% copper, but the silvery color of the remaining nickel 25% predominates.
