white gold?!


Question:
if white gold isn't real gold why do we cover real gold with it cover any other metal and achieve the same effect.
Answers:
Any gold that's less than pure (24 carats) has other metals mixed in with it. White gold is definitely real gold, it just happens to have non-gold metals mixed in that give it that silvery colour.

Ask any jeweler who doesn't use false advertising and then admit it: white gold is real gold

Platinum.

white gold is gold. It is regular gold with a white gold coating for hardness. That is why if you have a ring sized with white gold you need to be sure they rhodium finish it to prevent tarnish!

White gold is an alloy of gold and some white metals such as silver and palladium. White gold can be 18ct, 14ct, 10ct or any karat. For example, 18ct yellow gold is made by mixing 75% gold (750 parts per thousand) with 25% (250 parts per thousand) other metals such as copper and zinc. 18ct white gold is made by mixing 75% gold with 25% other metals such as silver and palladium. So the amount of gold is the same but the alloy is different.

Traditionally nickel was used in white gold, however, nickel is no longer used in most white gold made today as nickel can cause reactions with some people. We generally do not use or sell nickel in our white gold.

When white gold rings are new they are coated with another white metal called Rhodium. Rhodium is a metal very similar to platinum and Rhodium shares many of the properties of platinum including its white color.

The rhodium plating is used to make the white gold look more white. The natural color of white gold is actually a light grey color. The Rhodium is very white and very hard, but it does wear away eventually. To keep a white gold ring looking its best it should be re-rhodium plated approximately each 12 to 18 months.
