I think he meant something different. A lot of mass producing jewelry companies, mostly from Turkey and China, use yellow gold for its better casting and stamping abilities and slightly lower price, then using rhodium plating for achieving white color, mostly Chines companies even using thick silver coating before rhodium plating, so it will take longer to see yellow gold. My point is, most of resellers are buying from those companies and it is common they will sell you a rhodium plated yellow gold, they might not even know it is yellow gold.

Unfortunately he was correct. The introduction of white metals such as palladium or nickel and silver give gold a pale yellow colour which needs to be plated wirh Rhodium to make it white. I have looked at a recent spec. sheet for a white gold alloy and the range is from 53% palladium to 47% gold to 53% palladium,16% silver and 31%gold. These alloys look white but as you can see the trade off is less actual gold. The trend is more for White gold these days, but as my daughter and wife will tell you. It soon turns back to gold if indeed it is made of gold.....which is yellow.
@@nickreeder2979 there’s many stages in creating jewelry, one person doesn’t typically do everything from start to finish. A caster casts a setter sets etc.
I never liked that a pure 75% gold alloy got coated with another metal. It kinda defuses the prupose of gold, being made of gold becomes pure status in the end. I wonder if you can order jewelry from white gold without the coating.
Nickle is often added to gold to make white gold. That is why some people have an allergic reaction when they wear white gold they are allergic to the nickel in white gold.
@@Kelly-pp1et most countries adopted palladium a long time ago for the very reason that nickle is toxic....dunno where you're from but the only nickle white gold alloys would be, would be in pieces pre 1970 or so.

I'm working for more than 25 years in the precious metals branch. I haven't seen a 18ct white gold with a palladium content of 25%. It would be too expensive. Normally they are using silver, tin and 10 till 16% from Palladium.
Well the main difference is...if you think you're too good for silver..and you want that color..you're better off with platinum. No offense to anyone. I think I'm too good for fake jewelry so...I can be a snob too.
Gold, also called golden, is a yellow-orange color which is a representation of the color of the element gold. The web color gold (also referred to as orange-yellow) is sometimes referred to as golden to distinguish it from the color metallic gold.
I wear a 22 kt earring .I usually make .925 or .999 silver rings or whatever my customer wants. I prefer yellow gold. What is the compostion of 22 kt gold ?
No one alloys with brass. One would have no control over color. Brass is a mixture of copper and zinc. 18k yellow gold has copper and silver added in equal (12.5%) proportions generally
Did you know the silver fillings everyone has are made of mercury zinc silver tin and copper, that's alot of metal in a tiny spot. I loved working with it in dentistry it's so interesting and so soft before it cures
Don't be cheap with watered-down gold, keep Gold Golden.....then get pure Platinum if you want white metal! Mene jewelry is where I get pure, not junk metal....

Hello, I’m looking for advise on how to change a white gold Diana style ring into yellow gold, would this be an straight forward job ? And is it worth doing as I feel yellow gold looks better than white gold
I feel like this job would be difficult because you would have to essentially change the entire composition of the band. In other words, the ring would have to be recreated with yellow gold alloy to identically match the current ring. You could look into plating the white gold with yellow gold plating, but that would have the issue of it fading off.
Has your white gold turned to yellow? I.e. was it ordinary yellow gold and Rhodium plated.? Most white gold rings are made this way. I have bought a plating kit to keep my daughter's white gold wedding band white when it fades back to yellow.
they can also heat treat it or chemically change the white to yellow just like lab created gemstones they can resurface gold. my name ring was white gold on the bottom back in 94 . over the years into the millenium it faded in the corners and the jewelry shop resurfaced and made the whole ring back into yellow in 2008 i liked it better the second time and they made look like new i was in tears . so yes it can be done.

Seems rather silly to me that people rhodium plate white gold and platinum when rhodium over silver could be used. What a waste of money as no one will ever know what's under the rhodium. Freshly polished silver IMO looks a heck of a lot like rhodium. As a lover of rhodium, but not of having to get get rings plated constantly, I've simply switched to wearing silver. Honestly, the average person would have no idea if it's silver, platinum or rhodium anyway (not that I care that others know what I'm wearing, but it's interesting nonetheless).
BRO THANK FOR URE AMAZING VIDEO BUT A QUESTION CAN I GET A RING WITH COPPER,GOLD,PLATINUM,SLIVER,RED DIAMOND IF POSSIBLE BRASS TOO MIX ALLOY OF THIS AT WHICH PRICE U SOLD IT TO US VIEWERS? OR IS IT POSSIBLE? JUST CURIOUS THATS ALL SORRY IF OVER SAID BUT STAY HEALTHY BE BLESSED AND GET VACCINATED GUYS MAY GOD HELP US ALL!
Is there a way to tell the alloys apart? Let’s say with white gold, is there a way to know which alloy was used? I have a class ring I had gotten in a sale and it is of a white metal. Seeing as though most class rings I have seen are either a white gold or just full palladium, is there a way to tell the difference without scarring or destroying it?
@@ankybabaa they don't always have copper, brass or silver in it, they probably just have copper and gold, brass and gold, not necessarily all 3 mixed with gold
hint: there's such a thing like internet that has been around for years, there's also a search app called google for example to make it easy to search things on the internet, hope Malta get either one of these things one day soon, so you can take advantage of it. Kind regards and internet user.
Thanks so much. I haven’t done any casting since high school, this brings back memories. My question is: why do I get a reaction to 14K yellow gold pierced earrings? I assumed the alloy had some nickel in it for brightness, but now I’m not sure.
could be anything I don't have a lot of info but could be it pierced poorly, it's getting constantly bumped, you're touching it, sleeping on it, externally threaded jewellery, you put a hoop in too soon the list goes on and on I'd recommend you go to a reputable piercer and ask them
I love white gold my 1/4 ct diamond studs are in 14k white gold plus it's a lot stronger then 14 k yellow gold but when.it comes to rings 10k gold is a lot better in a ring it is tougher and the price of gold went up today to $2000 an ounce that is crazy the price of gold will go up even more just wait and see up the irons maiden manic🇬🇧🤘🤘🤟🤟🎸🎸
I had thought 18k is only coating, now I know its 75% gold. We use 916 or 91.6%. What about 24k? Please comment on resale value of yellow vs white gold.
Palladium was cheaper than gold in the 70s and for a while there after . We used palladium as a cheap white gold for setting pave in small diamonds . The color is not totally white so where possible it was rhodium plated . For almost 40 years I used 19 Kt. white gold rather than 18Kt. with palladium as the 19 is a much better color . I did not bother ever rhodium plating it as it looks very white not as good as platinum for the blue white look but significantly whiter than 18Kt white / palladium . My 2 cents as a retired Canadian jeweler .
Jewellers should explore another territory, silver alloyed with PGM. Small amount of PGM will make silver alloy look and behaves better. I have smelted silver piece that was heavy rhodium plated and result button after time looks entirely different than sterling one, it is harder and have nearly lustrous surface. Additionally it seems to be tarnish-less.
They have. John, a metallurgist with Stuller, created a palladium silver called Continuum. It come out casted as hard as Pt900, and can be heat treated to the hardness of 14K. The reason it generally isn't done is because it increases the cost a lot and most aren't willing to pay those prices for silver. Also, PGMs also generally have low solubility in group 11 metals. They have white gold alloys that utilize both nickel and silver, while incorporating less copper. These alloys are far whiter, work better, and are less prone to stress corrosion than normal nickel white gold.
Would really love OPs opinion, but anyone's would be appreciated. Do you think that an engagement ring in rose gold will look dated, because it's having something of a recent revival? Also, I'm not very hard on rings, and can afford 18ct gold, but is it a good option for daily wear? My understanding is that 10kt is stronger, but more brittle. Thoughts for me?
do not use 10k. 10k gold barely scrapes by the minimum requirement to be able to be legally called gold. yes, rose gold will look dated as anything that is a trend will date back to the period. that’s not necessarily to say don’t get a ring in rose gold, if you love rose gold, be dated and who cares. but since ur asking, it’s evident that you are not in love w rose gold. 18k will be forever timeless. that’s the way i would go.
@@alishaygan9844 thank you. I’m still on the fence with rose gold, but have definitely decided to go 18kt gold. I went to a store, Tivol, not sure if it’s just a local thing, or well known and I genuinely fell in love with the beauty of 18kt gold. They don’t carry 10kt, but I did have the opportunity to compare 18kt to 14kt. There is no question which is more beautiful. I’ve noticed most of my European friends have 18kt, while the American friends seem to have 14kt. Not sure why that seems to be their standards.
I have an 18ct wedding band that I have worn every day for 25 years. It's a bit thinner than it used to be (unlike me haha) and the etched design is now almost invisible, but its not misshapen in any way (and I never take it off) and should see me out. My engagement ring is also 18ct and is pretty much the same as it was when it was new, but then I don't wear it constantly.
Pure Solid White Gold Formula it's life time Guaranties, for the next 5 years stable world market price, strong better that yellow gold and rhodium plate our palladium mix yellow gold metal.
i love the slight warm color of unplated white gold. My engagement ring is 18k unplated white gold and I could not love it more.
I feel the same way, honestly.
One of the pieces of jewelry that I wear daily is an unplated ring that looks decidedly off-white in the right light. To me, though, that just adds to its appeal. I can't imagine a context where "it looks like it's made of literal gold" is a bug rather than a feature.

Platinum can stand alone, no alloys needed.

How come when you search the differences it says nickel and zinc are added and not pladium?
maybe certain manufacturers do that to keep costs down
Palladium white gold is a relatively recent and superior alloy to nickel/zinc
How to determine a white gold bar
I personally prefer yellow gold than white gold, some people assume white gold is silver. So I just wear silver if I'm not wearing yellow gold.
Makes total sense and it makes so much sense...I can't believe hardly anyone says this.
Seems rather silly to me that people rhodium plate white gold and platinum when rhodium over silver could be used. What a waste of money as no one will ever know what's under the rhodium. Freshly polished silver IMO looks a heck of a lot like rhodium. As a lover of rhodium, but not of having to get get rings plated constantly, I've simply switched to wearing silver. Honestly, the average person would have no idea if it's silver, platinum or rhodium anyway (not that I care that others know what I'm wearing, but it's interesting nonetheless).
Yes they wouldn't know.
I for one can't tell the difference.
So what do you do when the plating wears off the silver?
No what's silly is..you can just use platinum or silver. And be done!

What's the percentage for 14 k if 18 k 75 percent
What about 22gold and 21gold ?
Thank you so much for explaining the difference I’ve asked severalJewelers and nobody’s ever been able to tell me so again thank you very much
Do you buy locally made gold
I had to keep turning the volume up or down. Volume up when you talk, volume down when the music starts blasting!
Is there a way to tell the alloys apart? Let’s say with white gold, is there a way to know which alloy was used? I have a class ring I had gotten in a sale and it is of a white metal. Seeing as though most class rings I have seen are either a white gold or just full palladium, is there a way to tell the difference without scarring or destroying it?
of course
Hey what is the percentage of copper ,brass and silver in an alloy for 18k yellow gold?
25% it says that in like the first minute of the video
@@unlmtd_yupp i know but i asking ratio of copper brass and silver in that 25% alloy
@@ankybabaa ahh I see... I dknt know, I'm sorry for the mean response
@@ankybabaa they don't always have copper, brass or silver in it, they probably just have copper and gold, brass and gold, not necessarily all 3 mixed with gold
Ciao informazioni palladium white gold quanto vale
Is 14k yellow gold real gold or plated ? and isn't 14k gold suppose to be gold color?
can u be kind how much is an ounce gold now mine is 24 karat thanks dear alot keep on teaching us greetings from Malta
Price fluctuates daily, you can Google it!
hint: there's such a thing like internet that has been around for years, there's also a search app called google for example to make it easy to search things on the internet, hope Malta get either one of these things one day soon, so you can take advantage of it. Kind regards and internet user.
Is white gold and platinum is same ??
No, they are different metals.
Thanks so much. I haven’t done any casting since high school, this brings back memories. My question is: why do I get a reaction to 14K yellow gold pierced earrings? I assumed the alloy had some nickel in it for brightness, but now I’m not sure.
could be anything I don't have a lot of info but could be it pierced poorly, it's getting constantly bumped, you're touching it, sleeping on it, externally threaded jewellery, you put a hoop in too soon the list goes on and on I'd recommend you go to a reputable piercer and ask them
Wow🥰i love everything nd anything about gold,silver,platinum,nd jewelries💖
I loved the music on the background more than the vedio 🌞
Is white gold costly than yellow??
I love white gold my 1/4 ct diamond studs are in 14k white gold plus it's a lot stronger then 14 k yellow gold but when.it comes to rings 10k gold is a lot better in a ring it is tougher and the price of gold went up today to $2000 an ounce that is crazy the price of gold will go up even more just wait and see up the irons maiden manic🇬🇧🤘🤘🤟🤟🎸🎸
I really like yellow gold! But in my country it's not common, women here prefer rose gold jewelry.
what is the name of your country?
@@darshanabhattacharyya6939 Russia
Here we love yellow gold Indonesia
Yellow all the way!
I wish the music wasn't so loud, can't hear what you're saying
can a 14 k gold be melted together with Rhodium? 58% hold and 30% rhodium melted together?
I had thought 18k is only coating, now I know its 75% gold. We use 916 or 91.6%. What about 24k?
Please comment on resale value of yellow vs white gold.
24k is 99.99% gold
the 91.67% gold you are mentioning is 22k gold
You will always get less for white gold
i want to learm mix 18 gold
There is no white gold. Is a confused naming. That's platinum, a totally different metal from gold.
The best in the world market today 21k solid white gold formula life time guaranties. Stable wold market value.
I actually never knew that about the 24k Gil being bendable
Beautiful and informative about gold rings! Thanks a lot.😁😍😍😍😍😍
Palladium was cheaper than gold in the 70s and for a while there after . We used palladium as a cheap white gold for setting pave in small diamonds . The color is not totally white so where possible it was rhodium plated . For almost 40 years I used 19 Kt. white gold rather than 18Kt. with palladium as the 19 is a much better color . I did not bother ever rhodium plating it as it looks very white not as good as platinum for the blue white look but significantly whiter than 18Kt white / palladium . My 2 cents as a retired Canadian jeweler .
Thank You.I Love white gold
I love all golds I love too mix it up x
Jewellers should explore another territory, silver alloyed with PGM. Small amount of PGM will make silver alloy look and behaves better.
I have smelted silver piece that was heavy rhodium plated and result button after time looks entirely different than sterling one, it is harder and have nearly lustrous surface. Additionally it seems to be tarnish-less.
They have. John, a metallurgist with Stuller, created a palladium silver called Continuum. It come out casted as hard as Pt900, and can be heat treated to the hardness of 14K.
The reason it generally isn't done is because it increases the cost a lot and most aren't willing to pay those prices for silver. Also, PGMs also generally have low solubility in group 11 metals.
They have white gold alloys that utilize both nickel and silver, while incorporating less copper. These alloys are far whiter, work better, and are less prone to stress corrosion than normal nickel white gold.
Silver is garbage

A 5 Star Rate Review on you mate.
A just kind of short and direct to the point to point topics along with important key notes.
Would really love OPs opinion, but anyone's would be appreciated. Do you think that an engagement ring in rose gold will look dated, because it's having something of a recent revival? Also, I'm not very hard on rings, and can afford 18ct gold, but is it a good option for daily wear? My understanding is that 10kt is stronger, but more brittle. Thoughts for me?
do not use 10k. 10k gold barely scrapes by the minimum requirement to be able to be legally called gold. yes, rose gold will look dated as anything that is a trend will date back to the period. that’s not necessarily to say don’t get a ring in rose gold, if you love rose gold, be dated and who cares. but since ur asking, it’s evident that you are not in love w rose gold. 18k will be forever timeless. that’s the way i would go.
@@alishaygan9844 thank you. I’m still on the fence with rose gold, but have definitely decided to go 18kt gold. I went to a store, Tivol, not sure if it’s just a local thing, or well known and I genuinely fell in love with the beauty of 18kt gold. They don’t carry 10kt, but I did have the opportunity to compare 18kt to 14kt. There is no question which is more beautiful. I’ve noticed most of my European friends have 18kt, while the American friends seem to have 14kt. Not sure why that seems to be their standards.
I have an 18ct wedding band that I have worn every day for 25 years. It's a bit thinner than it used to be (unlike me haha) and the etched design is now almost invisible, but its not misshapen in any way (and I never take it off) and should see me out. My engagement ring is also 18ct and is pretty much the same as it was when it was new, but then I don't wear it constantly.
Write about synthetic diamonds. I don't believe in its quality, mainly the bright.
