What is white gold

An alloy consisting of gold that has at least one white metal such as nickel, silver or palladium. Like all other iterations of gold, the purity is stated in karats.

The term white gold is used quite loosely in the industry to label any karat gold that has a whiteish hue. The qualities vary depending on the metals used and their proportions in the mix. White gold that has nickel makes for a stronger alloy, which makes it a good choice for rings and pins. Palladium infused alloys are softer and are good for gemstone setting. At times other metals such as silver, copper and platinum are added for weight and durability. In the jewellery industry, the mixes are often gold-palladium–silver and gold–nickel–copper-zinc.
