BAUNAT's White Gold: Unveiling Natural Beauty and Exceptional Durability

Read summary
What makes white gold a popular choice for fine jewelry?
White gold offers a stunning silvery-white appearance with exceptional durability. At BAUNAT, our white gold jewelry combines 75% fine gold with 25% other metals, primarily premium palladium, to create lasting pieces stamped with "au750" certification. The distinctive ultra-white shine comes from rhodium plating, which prevents corrosion and yellowing, though it requires reapplication every 2-10 years depending on wear.
While more affordable than platinum, white gold gained popularity during WWII as a platinum alternative and remains beloved for its versatility and elegant appearance. It particularly complements cool skin tones and allows diamonds to shine brilliantly, making it ideal for engagement rings. BAUNAT's direct-from-source approach ensures high-quality white gold jewelry at competitive prices without expensive intermediaries.

Understanding the Composition of White Gold
White gold, much like its yellow and red counterparts, is an alloy, which speaks volumes about its durability and versatility. Our white gold jewellery is a blend of 75% fine gold and 25% other metals such as palladium, zinc and silver. We use premium quality palladium as part of our alloy to extend the lifespan of the silvery-white colour of our white gold jewellery pieces. We certify the quality of our pieces with a content stamp, assuring you of the alloy's calibre with an 'au750' engraving.
Rhodium Plating: Giving White Gold its Distinct Charm
To achieve the spectacular ultra-white hue of our handcrafted white gold jewellery, we introduce a protective layer of rhodium. This rhodium-plating prevents corrosion, preserves the vibrant shine against wear and tear, protects against certain acids, and prevents the white gold from yellowing over time. However, with the stunning gleam comes the necessity of occasional rhodium re-plating, usually every 2-10 years based on usage.
White Gold vs Platinum: A Comparison
While white gold is distinguished for its silvery-white colour, platinum exhibits a more white-grey hue. Platinum is a hypoallergenic raw material that possesses higher durability and weight than white gold, thus making it more expensive.
History of White Gold: A Testament to Adaptability
White gold's popularity soared when jewellers needed an alternative to platinum during the Second World War. The metal's allure, affordability, and comfort ensured its continued attraction post-war, making it a preferred choice for crafting various jewellery pieces.
