High quality white gold wedding rings

Why white gold wedding rings?

White gold or gray gold - it depends on the rhodium plating!

To create the often desired silver color, jewelry made of white gold is usually additionally rhodium-plated (i.e. coated with the platinum by-product metal rhodium). Wearing the jewelry causes the rhodium to wear off over time, but it can be renewed at any time. Meanwhile, many customers also do without the rhodium plating, because they like their own shade of palladium white gold (also called gray gold) and this can be combined very well with other colored gold (e.g. yellow gold, rose gold or red gold).

In order to decolorize the naturally yellow gold, a white metal must be added to the gold. In the past, palladium was very often used for this purpose, and later mostly nickel, which produced a bright silvery hue and a very good finishe hardness. However, since nickel in jewelry can cause allergic reactions on the skin, it is no longer used for jewelry production today. Today, the very high-quality platinum by-metal palladium is predominantly used again. The admixture of palladium initially gives the gold a grayish hue. Depending on how high the palladium content is, a slight yellow tint may remain.
