Amazing tips while buying 18k white gold Jewellery

The joy of looking at a bezel-set, heavily interspersed with diamonds- double banded ring is in explainable, the awe of the moment was immediately taken back by a notch when Ridhima and her fiancée who were searching for diamond engagement bands found out that they are largely available in 18kt white gold. 

Before they could get a coveted piece home, they thought maybe an online search for “18k white gold Jewellery India” would give them better insights about 18kt engagement rings, different buying avenues, clarity on purity, color and other nuances of white gold Jewellery. Here are a few amazing tips about white gold that Ridhima shared across with our editor:

1. White gold has a brilliant shine that reflects the light perfectly and brings out the sparkle in diamonds giving it a touch regality.

2. White gold uses at least one white toned metal such as nickel, manganese, silver, zinc, or palladium as an alloy to lower the yellow tinge of gold along with a generous Rhodium plating to bring out a shiny white hue.

3. Though scratch resistant and durable like all fine jewelry white gold also needs maintenance at regular intervals as the rhodium coat tends to wear off over extended use.

4. Any 18kt gold Jewellery- white, rose or yellow is 75% pure and 25% a mix of alloys.

5. 18K gold jewelry is that it’s hypoallergenic. Some metal alloys contain nickel, which is a known allergen. However, with only 25% metal alloy used in 18K gold, the percentage of nickel is extremely minimal which reduces the risk of allergic reactions.

6. White gold Jewellery is not generally found with every retail jeweler hence it is advised to look for places within your vicinity, read online reviews, look for designs, availability, etc. Example: search online for white/yellow gold Jewellery in Jaipur or Ahmedabad or any other place that you reside in and then venture out to shop.

7.   White gold is also a close resemblance to platinum.
