Today's consumer of diamond jewellery has quietly chosen white gold as his metal of choice. It combines the contemporary look of silver coloured metals with the richness of gold in a sleek and value-laden way.
SunshineDiamonds’ engagement rings, diamond rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces are made of white gold which is durable and offers a look that’s both functional and highly desirable. But how does white gold compare to other precious metals in terms of your options and what people like about it?
Let's analyse it.
Yellow gold is the natural state of white gold. A pure form of gold is first combined with another pure form of the same metal, such as silver or palladium, to create a slightly less pure form of the original metal. By toning down the natural yellow of gold and strengthening it, this technique creates an “off-white” substrate that is ideal for fine jewellery.
White gold is the colour of choice for most “modern” designs because it’s a colour produced by human hands rather than nature, and due to this, it can have a nice, consistent look finish-wise.
The finishing layer of rhodium, a platinum-related precious metal, gives white gold its distinctive brightness.
This thin layer:
For this reason, when compared to warmer metal tones, diamonds set in white gold frequently appear whiter and brighter.
White gold is more about how it fits into daily life than it is about how it looks.
Its tone is neutral:
For this reason, it's frequently used in tennis bracelets, diamond studs, solitaire engagement rings, and solitaire pendants for daily wear.
The rhodium layer will progressively erode with continued use, particularly on bracelets and rings that are in daily contact.
The jewellery may take on a slightly warmer tone as a result. This is a typical aspect of owning white gold; it is not damage or deterioration.
Your jewellery will continue to look brand new for many years after a professional rhodium refresh restores the original brilliant finish.
Durability and appearance are both impacted by gold purity. Higher karats offer richer gold content, while lower karats offer more strength. In all three choices, white gold performs remarkably well.
For diamonds, white gold functions as a mirror, maximising brilliance by reflecting light back into the stone.
This makes it perfect for:
As a result, jewellery appears brighter without the size of the diamonds growing.
Yellow gold offers classic warmth, while white gold offers a contemporary appearance. For designs with a lot of diamonds, white gold is frequently chosen.
White gold offers a comparable look at a more affordable price with simpler resizing options, but platinum is heavier and naturally white.
White gold is much more valuable, long-lasting, and appropriate for fine diamond jewellery.
Indeed, white gold is made for the real world.
