- What is white gold? Is it naturally occurring? How do you change the color of gold?
Dan Moran of Concierge Diamonds Inc in Los Angeles explains white gold.
White gold does not exist in nature. To make a white gold ring we plate or cover it with a very thin layer of metal called rhodium. Rhodium is a very white, very hard, very brittle metal. That's actually almost as expensive as gold, but we use so little of it that it doesn't matter. We cover that white gold ring in a very thin layer of rhodium to give it that bright white appearance.

You are so much more clear than the other guys.
Thank you! I am happy to help and glad these educational videos help cut through a lot of misinformation!
Cool. Exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks.
This was a wonderful explanation.
And it looks just like silver! Never understand why a person would want white gold anything.
Amazing video - short and very informative.
Thanks and greets from Austria!
I thought white gold is just alloyed with palladium? I have a white gold wedding ring and it's worn pretty far down and I don't see any yellow showing thru
it is mixed with nickel or palladium to make the core look white, but the rhodium exterior is a sharper clearer white.
Always wanted to know. Thank you.
So white gold is basically rodium plated over gold...wtf
The only natural color of gold is yellow. If you want a white metal, you can make something in platinum.
Concierge Diamonds can the rhodium be mixed instead of plated?
Concierge Diamonds good point..i never mentioned anytging about natural color tho
Concierge Diamonds i dont think it should be called white gold since its plated
Very concise and all the info I was looking for, thank you!
Thank you so much, I just got a 14k white gold chain and I was curious
For sure! Any time anyone has a question about metals or gemology feel free to reach out! info -at- conciergediamonds.com
Glad to help!
I have a white gold chain on now I bought in 2007 it’s still white gold and gorgeous
wow thank you, you explained this very well and answered my question A sincere thank you for this video!
so you're saying that you should just buy Platinum because there's no upkeep and if you're trying to save money by buying white gold you're going to eventually pay the price of platinum because you have to constantly dip it in the roadium? Well now I know to go for platinum.
really well explained, thanks :)
Thank you I really appreciate that!
hello @consiergeDiamonds, thank you a lot for sharing these videos, Im in the retail diamonds market selling all kind of precious stones and this is a very valuable information for all people in the market
Great video !
Thanks!
Great video! Very simple and clear. I had a bad experience with both steel and silver. In less than a week my fingers got like burnt. There were open wounds where the rings were. Any idea why? Plus, would Platinum or Rodium react like that? Oh yeah my wedding ring is 18K gold and I never had a problem.
Adamantium is betta
Completely agree. Where do you get your supply from???
More of a vibranium man myself
Yaaaaaaas.....
do they ever use a Nickel and Platinum alloy to create an even harder metal and shiny at the same time?
I have a necklace and it's reacting strongly to magnet
Could it be Platinum, thanks for the good video
Taki Clinton Harness well, the PtCo alloys (950 Platinum, 50 Cobalt) are magnetic. Also, nickel actually doesn't make a very hard alloy with platinum despite being so tough on its own.
I can't believe I have never thought about this! Its so obvious that golds gold, I now see white gold has plated, and something I no longer like. My bad
What is the instrumental in the beginning?
Very informative my guy
tnx for the info
I have a 10k White Gold Cuban Link about 69 grams.. And I also have a medallion about 50 grams 10k... I think I have some worth a little bit
Can white gold can be turned into yellow gold.
Gold is inherently yellow. What changes is the rhodium plating, so you can plate natural yellow gold to change its appearance.
great video
thank you!
Right
Can you tell which one is expensive pure gold ring or white gold ring 18 carat
Well, you can't set stones in pure gold... it's too soft! This is why we alloy it with other metals.
White gold wedding ring.
I'd lose a platinum ring. Besides it's heavier too.
Thanks!!! Subscribed!!!
Welcome!
@Concierge Diamonds 😂😂 🍺🍺
Good info

Twice a week, Damn.
So it’s basically real gold that is plated 😂
Ohhhhhh
So 24k is the best gold, eh?
So the higher the karat, the better?
24K is PURE gold but too soft to set jewelry in. So if you want to wear it, you need to mix it with another metal!

Interesting. Thanks for the enlightenment 😉
