Why does white gold change colour? PDF Print E-mail

Gold as you know is yellow, white gold is achieved by mixing it with white metals such as silver and palladium to bring down the yellowness. Jewellery is then fashioned from the resulting metal which is then usually coated with rhodium  , to give it a bright white finish. Whilst rhodium is a very durable metal (related to platinum ), it does wear away through item thus exposing the original colour to show through.

This can be easily remedied by having your jewellery refinished and re-plated with rhodium.
