A Guide to Gold: White-Gold
Gold these days can be alloyed with other metals, including copper, zinc and silver in order to create an array of colours, from a coppery yellow to a silvery white-gold. The amount of alloy per measurement of gold can be altered, in order to alter and affect the colour of the metal. These alloyed golds are often used either as a whole jewellery piece, for instance as plain white-gold wedding rings or to highlight a distinctive area in a piece of jewellery, such as a pattern or shape. White-gold's are a particularly favourite alloy, as they have a similar sheen to that of platinum.
What are White-Golds?
White-golds are unlike platinum, not as special or precious. In fact, they cannot be made out of 24 carat gold, rather it is 21 carat gold or under. White-gold, however, is still true carat gold like any other true yellow gold jewellery as it is still made up of the gold alloy. Its colour is retained by combining it with other alloy metals, which alter the colour by essentially bleaching the yellow.
History and Today's Relevance
Historically white-gold was developed in the early half of the twentieth century, around 1920, as a commercial substitute for the precious and rare metal, platinum. Since then white-gold has taken on the status of being a popular metal that is bought because of its own properties, rather than due to its likeness to platinum.
White gold has become amongst many a fashionable and highly sought after metal, mainly due to its properties and unique look. Although, white-gold looks slightly similar to silver or platinum, it is much more abundant than platinum and is not as easily scratched as gold. It also gives an alternative look, for those who do not like wearing yellow-gold jewellery.
Today, you will mostly find white-gold to be used in special jewellery, such as plain white-gold wedding rings and other bridal jewellery, which all look stunning to the eye. White-gold is further used to enhance the look of diamonds and other gemstones, as it brings out the colour of particular gemstones. You can also find white-gold combined with other metals in fashion jewellery, which often gives a nice effect due to the array of distinctive colours.
