Gold jewellery comes in different colours. This is because the element of gold - with chemical symbol Au - is a relatively soft, ochre yellow precious metal. In its pure form it is not hard enough to be manipulated into jewellery, and certainly not into rings. If it were to be used it would scratch and even lose its shape in no time. Other materials are added to create an alloy. As such, white gold is an alloy similar to red gold and yellow gold. What is white gold exactly and how do you look after it?
