White gold is basically a mixture of gold and one other metal – silver or nickel or palladium. Rhodium is also added to this mixture in order to give white gold its distinctive shiny, silver color. Gold needs to be mixed with these other metals in order to make the piece of jewelry more durable.
Gold is soft and can be bent out of shape easily, so it is a good idea to mix these metals along with the gold. Plus, in the case of white gold, it also imparts the distinctive color, as mentioned earlier. Generally people plate gold with palladium as silver is quite a soft metal and a lot of people have allergic reactions to nickel.
Another advantage of white gold jewelry is that, if your jewelry starts changing its color, then you can reverse the process by re-plating your jewelry with rhodium. This fixes the color and makes it sparkly silver again.
White gold jewelry is a great choice because it easily matches a wide range of colors – the color of your skin, hair, clothes and accessories blend in well with white gold, as compared to the more traditional form of gold that we are familiar with.
Moreover, did you know that white gold is now the most popular metal in the world? It first began to gain popularity in the 1920s and its popularity has been steadily on the rise since then.
White gold has steadily been climbing the charts of people’s preferences and has been making brides beautiful all over the gold. So what are you waiting for, get your white gold wedding jewelry today!
