Everything you need to know about White Gold


Platinum is a popular metal choice for jewelry among young people, and I've seen many young couples visiting stores to buy platinum jewelry to symbolize their love. However, platinum is a little more expensive, making it an out-of-reach for many of us. However, for those who like to wear platinum jewelry, there is an option available.

This metal is generally known as White gold, and I'm confident you won't be able to tell the difference between white gold and platinum, since most people are confused by their color similarities. Both appear to be the same, so it's understandable if you're puzzled at first.

In this article I am going to unfold everything that you should know about white Gold in order to make a purchase.

What is White Gold

Pure yellow gold is mixed with white alloy metals such as palladium, nickel, silver, and copper to create white gold. These metals give white gold its strength and endurance while also reducing its golden tint.

The metals used and the amounts in which they are combined affect the whiteness of the alloy, which is why some white gold jewellery is whiter than others.

White Gold and Rhodium Plating

White gold is an alloy of yellow gold, It can’t leave its base color, and here comes Rhodium plating. This coating provides white gold jewelry the hue and chromatic appearance that many people associate with this metal. The rhodium plating additionally strengthens and hardens the object to which it is applied.

Durability of White Gold Jewelry

White gold is measured in the same way as yellow gold. Both are weighed in terms of karats. The karat number of every gold article has the same meaning regardless of the alloy used.

How to care for White Gold Jewelry

This is a little bit trickier when compared to yellow gold or platinum. The white gold alloy is made up of yellow gold andother metals, and rhodium plating is used to disguise the yellowish tint of the gold.

White gold is more scratch resistant than ordinary gold, although it is not scratch proof. It, like anything else, can get scratches. These will be the most noticeable at first, but with time, they will fade to a more pleasing patina. Clean the dirt from the ring's surface with cold water and carefully dry it with a soft cloth. Contact with detergents, moisturizers, and soaps can dull the ring's luster, a quick buff with a soft cloth will revive the ring's appearance. The rhodium plating will wear off over time, but it will do so gradually and evenly.
