When shopping for fine jewelry, an important aspect to consider is the type of metal you’ll be wearing. There are many options to choose from, one of the most popular being white gold.
Despite its name, white gold isn’t a naturally occurring metal. In fact, gold is actually yellow in its raw form. White gold is achieved by creating an alloy which combines yellow gold with other metals like nickel, silver, and palladium.
Though it has a lower gold content, 14k white gold is harder and whiter than 18k since it contains a higher percentage of the other white metals. On the other hand, 18k gold is heavier and has greater luster because of its higher gold purity. It’s also more resistant to tarnish and corrosion.
Why choose white gold for your jewelry?
One of the primary advantages of white gold jewelry is its durability and strength. While pure gold is known for its softness and malleability, the addition of other metals in the white gold alloy enhances its strength so it can be used for crafting exquisite jewelry pieces. The inclusion of these metals not only gives white gold its lustrous white appearance but also ensures that your jewelry is less prone to damage, scratches, and wear over time.
Compared to platinum, white gold offers a more affordable option without compromising on style and quality. Platinum is a rare and expensive metal, while white gold provides a similar aesthetic at a more accessible price point. By choosing white gold, you can enjoy the luxurious appeal of a white metal without stretching your budget.
White gold’s versatility is another reason why it is highly sought after in the world of jewelry. Its neutral hue effortlessly complements a wide range of gemstones and diamonds, allowing them to shine brightly against the white backdrop. Whether you’re wearing a simple solitaire diamond engagement ring or a colorful gemstone, white gold provides an exquisite background setting that enhances the beauty of these stones.
