White Gold

White gold is an alloy of gold. This means that it is made up of pure yellow gold, mixed with alloy metals that have a silvery-white colour, such as palladium and silver.

White gold is usually an alloy containing only 75% of gold.

Is White Gold is Real Gold?

Yes, White gold is real but it’s not made entirely of gold. The other metals help to strengthen the gold and increase its durability for jewelry.

You’ll be able to verify that your white gold jewellery contains real gold by looking at its hallmark whether it is K18/K9.

What is different between K18 and K9?

Karat is often expressed with the letter K. For example, 9K or 18K gold.

All 9K gold jewellery items contain 37.5% pure gold, while 18K gold items contain 75% pure gold – regardless of the gold colour. The bigger the overall karat weight, the larger amount of gold is present.

So that means K9 is same with 375 white gold and K18 same with 750 white gold.

Whether white gold is for you is ultimately a personal choice. Overall, white gold makes for a stunning choice if you love the neutral, classic look of silver or platinum.

It has much more durability and value than silver. White gold has become much more popular than classic yellow gold and is in fact the most often chosen metal for engagement rings.
