Is white gold a bad idea if I want to wear my ring every day and never take it off?

White gold is well suited to a ring you wear every day, provided you accept periodic maintenance. At BAUNAT we craft rings in 18k white gold, a durable precious alloy finished with a rhodium plating that gives the bright white shine. With constant daily wear that surface layer gradually thins, so re-rhodiuming and repolishing keeps the ring looking new. This is routine, not a defect: our after-sales team handles replating, and repolishing with a new rhodium layer is often included when we service a ring. If you want a lower-maintenance permanent look, platinum or yellow gold need no plating. To choose the right band for constant wear, review our guidance on which material to choose for your ring, then book a showroom appointment to compare finishes in person.
