White Gold

White gold was originally developed to imitate platinum (a naturally white precious metal). White gold is usually an alloy containing about 75% gold and about 25% nickel, zinc and sometimes palladium. If stamped 18 K (18 carat), it would be 75% pure gold. White gold is often coated with rhodium (a member of the platinum family) or mixed with palladium to attain its reflective brilliant white.

White gold is usually an alloy containing about 75% gold and about 25% nickel. It was originally developed to imitate platinum, a naturally white precious metal. This alloy actually creates a pale yellow colour, rather than white, which is lovely in its own right, but to achieve a whiter, brighter look, white gold can be mixed with palladium (another white precious metal) or coated with rhodium, which is a member of the platinum family. White gold is usually an alloy containing about 75% pure gold and about 25% nickel, zinc and sometimes palladium, and this mixture would be called 18K white gold.
