Do you know that white gold<\/strong>\u00a0has a lower resale\u00a0value\u00a0than yellow\u00a0gold.<\/strong> White gold<\/strong> gets its distinctive \u201cwhite\u201d colour from the mixture of pure gold with alloy.

The reason white gold<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a0worth\u00a0less than yellow\u00a0gold<\/strong>\u00a0is because alloy cost less but it also means the purity (karat) of your\u00a0gold\u00a0jewellery is diluted. Another big no-no is to invest in\u00a0white gold.<\/strong> Buy it if you like it and can afford it, but not to invest on it.<\/p>\n\n\n

WHAT IS WHITE GOLD ACTUALLY?<\/h2>\n\n\n

White gold<\/strong>\u00a0is an alloy of gold. This means that it is made up of pure yellow gold, mixed with alloy metals that have a silvery-white colour, such as palladium and silver.

White gold<\/b> is usually an alloy containing only 75% of gold.<\/p>\n\n\n

WHY WHITE GOLD MIXED WITH ALLOY METALS?<\/h2>\n\n\n

In all gold jewellery, pure gold has to be mixed with harder metals for added durability and strength. On its own, pure gold is a very soft metal. Without the harder alloy metals keeping it rigid, pure gold would easily bend out of shape.

This is the case whether the jewellery is made from yellow gold, rose gold<\/strong> or white gold<\/strong>, because in any of these variations, gold on its own would be too soft.

In white gold<\/strong>, additionally, the silvery-coloured alloys help to create the desired white colour.<\/p>\n\n\n

IS WHITE GOLD IS REAL GOLD<\/h2>\n\n\n

Yes, white gold<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a0real\u00a0but it\u2019s not made entirely of\u00a0gold. The other metals help to strengthen the\u00a0gold and increase its durability for jewelry.

You\u2019ll be able to verify that your white gold<\/strong> jewellery contains real gold by looking at its hallmark whether it is K18\/K9.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

DIFFERENT BETWEEN K18 AND K9<\/h2>\n\n\n

Karat is often expressed with the letter K. For example, 9K or 18K gold.

All 9K gold jewellery items contain 37.5% pure gold, while 18K gold items contain 75% pure gold \u2013 regardless of the gold colour. The bigger the overall karat weight, the larger amount of gold is present.

So that means K9 is same with 375 white gold and K18 same with 750 white gold.<\/p>\n\n\n

Whether white gold<\/strong> is for you is ultimately a personal choice. Overall, white gold<\/strong> makes for a stunning choice if you love the neutral, classic look of silver or platinum.

It has much more durability and value than silver. White gold<\/strong> has become much more popular than classic yellow gold and is in fact the most often chosen metal for engagement rings.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JEWEL CAFE IS JAPAN NO.1 JEWELRY RECYCLE STORE!
