Solid white gold jewelry

In short

Solid white gold is gold alloyed with white metals throughout the piece. Our proposed standard is 18k (750), offered once qualified. Some white gold is also rhodium-plated for a brighter white; we only do that when your order’s specification says so, and your approval page states it.

What it is

White gold takes its colour from the metals it is alloyed with. Without a coating it has a soft, slightly warm grey-white tone that is natural to the alloy.

Rhodium finish, only if stated

Rhodium plating gives a bright, cool white, but it is a surface layer that wears with time and can be renewed by a jeweler. We never assume a white gold piece is rhodium-plated: if yours has any coating, your approval page says so.

About nickel

Some white gold alloys contain nickel. We don’t describe any alloy as nickel-free without evidence for that specific alloy. If you have a nickel allergy, ask us about the composition before ordering.

Care

Clean with warm water and mild soap; a rhodium finish can be renewed when it wears. See the care guide.

Questions and answers

Why can white gold look slightly yellow?

Without rhodium plating, white gold alloys keep a faint warm tone. That’s normal, and it’s why we state whether your piece has a coating.

Can I ask for a rhodium finish?

Only if it is part of the qualified specification for the material you order; the approval page shows exactly what you are buying.
