FAQs

Is white gold easy to maintain?

White gold is easy to maintain. It’s a durable metal that holds up to everyday wear. The most common maintenance for white gold is getting it plated with rhodium when it wears off every couple years. And this task isn’t mandatory–it’s a personal preference. Avoid wearing your white gold rings when you’re swimming, cleaning, or working with harsh chemicals. You also don’t want to use anything abrasive to clean your jewelry because it can scratch it.

Are white gold bands durable enough for everyday wear?

Yes, white gold is a mixture of metals (silver, zinc, copper, palladium, and nickel) making it a durable metal for everyday wear. Most scratches or marks can be buffed out. Keep in mind that frequent polishing will wear down the rhodium plating quicker.

Is white gold better than platinum?

White gold and platinum both have a silvery hue, but white gold is more affordable than platinum. White gold is also harder than platinum so it won’t scratch as easily. White gold will not rust, tarnish, or corrode. It is also more malleable than platinum, so it’s easier to work into fine, intricate designs. It’s important to note that platinum is hypoallergenic if you’re allergic to some metals.

How many times is re-plating required for a white gold band?

White gold is rhodium plated to achieve the silvery look, and it wears off over time. When you see a slightly yellow tint shine through, that means the rhodium has worn off and it’s time to get it re-plated. Generally, rhodium plating lasts a year or two depending on how often you wear it. Keep in mind that it’s worn down by friction, so the plating will rub off faster on everyday pieces if you’re harder on your jewelry or polish it more frequently.
