Choosing the right white gold ring for men

White gold versus yellow gold

White gold and yellow gold are made from the same 24kt gold base, but depending on the purity, both are the result of a mix of alloys. Pure gold being extremely soft and difficult to work with for jewellers, it is regularly mixed with other metals to make it stronger and more durable.

Hence yellow gold is often mixed with silver, zinc and copper. The copper and silver alloy is very popular as it produces a natural layer of coloured oxide on the surface of the metal, thereby enhancing the yellowish hue in yellow gold.

White gold on the other hand is often alloyed with nickel, zinc, platinum or palladium. Many people believe that white gold is white in colour in its raw form, but it always present a natural tinge of yellow.

That is why white gold always needs to be rhodium plated to obtain maximum whiteness.

White gold ring designs for men
