In recent decades, it has become increasingly fashionable, especially <strong>for engagement rings and wedding bands<\/strong>. <\/p><p>But <strong>what does white gold contain<\/strong>? Let&#8217;s start from the assumption that white gold jewellery is often certified as <strong>18 carats<\/strong> \u2013 known as <strong>750 white gold<\/strong> \u2013 meaning that it is 75% gold and the remaining 25% nickel, palladium, manganese, silver or platinum.<\/p><p>The <strong>gold and nickel alloy<\/strong> makes the metal more resistant, ideal for rings and brooches, but it could cause allergies. The <strong>alloy with palladium<\/strong>, on the other hand, creates a softer gold and is used in jewellery that requires stones to be set. <\/p><p>As mentioned above, the unmistakable appearance of white gold is not so much determined by its chemical composition as by the galvanisation process, which coats the jewellery with a layer of <strong>rhodium<\/strong> or <strong>platinum<\/strong>, giving it its typical <strong>shine<\/strong>.<\/p><p>Rhodium plating also makes the jewellery <strong>more resistant<\/strong>. However, rhodium is an expensive metal, and its use in the galvanisation process tends to make <strong>white gold jewellery more expensive<\/strong> than yellow gold creations. <\/p><p>Galvanisation is also the reason why, after a certain period of time, <strong>white gold begins to turn yellow<\/strong>: the rhodium coating begins to wear away, revealing the more golden colour of the alloy.<\/p><p>The process is determined by various factors, such as how often the jewellery is worn, the pH of the skin, the use of aggressive detergents, but also external elements such as air quality and the level of pollution in the surrounding environment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b972c8c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b972c8c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e33234 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0e33234\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0890ab7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0890ab7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.italpreziosi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/gioielli-oro-rosa.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-1835\" alt=\"A gloved hand reaches for a gold ring among several rings displayed in a jewelry store showcase, with a soft, elegant lighting highlighting the jewelry.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.italpreziosi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/gioielli-oro-rosa.jpg 720w, https:\/\/cdn.italpreziosi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/gioielli-oro-rosa-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a24623 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1a24623\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21d68a9 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"21d68a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>For a very long time, <strong>rose gold<\/strong> was called <strong>Russian gold<\/strong> because it was extremely popular in the Tsarist Empire in the early 19th century.<\/p><p>Over time, it also spread to Europe and <strong>has made a comeback in recent decades<\/strong>: it is used for all types of jewellery, including wedding rings, ideal for more original couples.<\/p><p><strong>How is rose gold obtained<\/strong>?
