metal question for the group

Recently I purchased a man's solitaire ring that was supposed to be
solid Platinum. The price reflected this fact and it was purchased from
a reputable jewelry store. They had to order the blank and then set the
diamond I bought. It is a beautiful ring. I "accidentally" was playing
with a magnet and wow! it stuck to the ring. I was not aware of platinum
having magnetic properties so I wanted to ask the group if anyone had
any information on the properties of platinum. I know gold and silver
are non-magnetic.
Sincerely,

If I remember correctly, the only magnetic metals are iron, steel,
cobalt, and nickel.
