White gold is created when alloys are mixed with pure gold to increase the strength and durability of the gold. The combination of these alloys determines the colour of the resulting gold jewellery. Jewellery Boxed white gold does not contain nickel which can cause allergic reactions in some people but is made with 25% silver and palladium.
White gold or platinum?
White gold was initially developed to emulate the chic, silver quality of platinum. There is a resemblance between white gold and platinum but there are many differences between these precious metals since they have their own distinct qualities.
After white gold has been created it is coated with Rhodium, a white metal which is similar to platinum. Rhodium gives the white gold its radiant white gleam and adds hardiness to the metal.
Both platinum and white gold are popular contemporary choices for engagement rings, weddings rings and eternity rings.
