What is white gold?
White gold is a luxurious and versatile alloy made by combining pure gold with white metals (such as palladium or silver). To achieve its radiant, silvery-white appearance, it's finished with a layer of rhodium, a precious metal that adds both brightness and strength. Renowned for its ability to enhance the brilliance of diamonds and gemstones, white gold remains a popular choice for engagement rings for women.
How is white gold different from platinum
While white gold and platinum have a similar aesthetic, their composition and characteristics differ. Platinum is a naturally white metal that is heavier, rarer, and more expensive than white gold. It requires no plating and develops a soft patina over time. In contrast, white gold is more lightweight and typically plated with rhodium to maintain its bright finish. It’s also available in a wider range of ring styles and offers a more accessible price point without compromising on elegance.
Does white gold turn yellow over time?
Yes, this can happen gradually. White gold doesn't lose its quality, but the rhodium plating, which gives it that bright white shine, can wear off over time, especially when the ring is worn daily. As it fades, the natural, slightly yellowish tone of the yellow gold underneath may begin to show. Re-plating the ring will restore its original brilliance. With regular maintenance, your white gold ring will stay beautiful and secure for many years.
How often should I replate my white gold engagement ring?
Replating every 1 to 3 years is typically recommended, depending on how often the ring is worn and your lifestyle. If you wear your ring every day, especially during activities that expose it to chemicals or friction, more frequent replating may be needed. Regular upkeep ensures your white gold engagement ring continues to sparkle as beautifully as the day you received it.
How should I care for my white gold engagement ring?
To protect your white gold ring and keep it in its best condition, avoid exposing it to strong detergents or harsh chemicals. Also, clean it gently using a soft brush, mild soap, and warm water. When you're not wearing your ring, store it in a soft-lined pouch or a separate compartment to prevent scratches from other diamond jewellery.
Regular cleaning and professional check-ups will keep your diamond or gemstone securely set and your diamond ring looking flawless.
What is the best gold purity for white gold engagement rings?
The most popular options for white gold rings in the UK are 14K and 18K:
- 14K white gold is made with a higher percentage of alloyed metals, making it more durable and ideal for active lifestyles or daily wear.
- 18K white gold contains more pure gold, giving it a slightly warmer hue and a softer, more luxurious feel.
Both are excellent choices for diamond white gold engagement rings. Our expert Hatton Garden jewellers will help you choose the ideal ring based on your budget, lifestyle, and preferred style.
