What is White Gold?

Wedding rings can come in many different metals. Gold itself is available in many different shades – white, yellow, rose / Russian gold, green, grey, black, blue, and white. Gold wedding rings and eternity bands are available in the entire spectrum of the metal through the mixing of pure gold with other metals. This happens in an alloying process so gold is combined with palladium to create that ‘white gold’ effect.

White gold wedding rings are usually enhanced with rhodium plating, creating a luxurious shine and reflective surface. It is normal for white gold jewellery to lose brightness over time, but white gold wedding rings can be maintained with rhodium plating every few years or so. Periodically taking care of your jewellery is the best to preserve the reflective surface of white gold.

White Gold Wedding Rings: The Beauty of Variety

Gold jewellery is a wonderful finishing touch to any ensemble, but we all have very different skin tones, fashion preferences and personal style choices. White gold wedding rings are perfect for cooler skin tones – usually people with blue, green or grey eyes. But the best way to test skin tone is to hold different coloured metals against the skin to see what looks better.
