White gold is one of the most refined and elegant materials for jewelry making. Mumit's online store is a fantastic example of this, with countless designs that bring out the best in this material to create handcrafted 18-karat gold jewelry pieces.
In the following lines, we will delve into white gold, from its formation to its application in jewelry.
How white gold is made
White gold is the result of an alloy of different metals, in which pure yellow gold is the main element. We discuss the differences between white gold and yellow gold in the linked article. Although each manufacturer may vary the quantities, the average proportions of each metal used in the alloy are around 75% gold and 25% white metals such as silver, palladium, or platinum.
All these elements are placed in a crucible that reaches 1000 degrees Celsius and, subsequently, their alloy is finished through an electrolysis process to improve its shine and clarity.
White gold qualities
The best white gold is, without a doubt, 18-karat gold due to the proportion of gold relative to the other materials. This gold is usually 18 karats and is obtained by mixing 75% yellow gold with 25% white metals such as silver, palladium, or platinum, although lower quality white gold also exists, such as 14, 12, or 10 karats.
In any case, the best way to ensure that your jewelry is made of top-quality white gold is to trust the best master artisans. In Mumit's online store, you will find all kinds of 18-karat white gold jewelry of the highest quality and with the highest level of durability.
Differences between white gold and yellow gold
Of course, the main difference between white gold and yellow gold is their color, although we must say that both combine equally well with any type of precious stone.
But in addition to their shades, both metals differ in their composition. While we previously mentioned that white gold is composed of pure gold with palladium, silver, or platinum, 18-karat yellow gold is obtained with 75% pure gold plus 25% of other metals that help harden it, since yellow gold is pure 24-karat gold, which is very soft and, therefore, not suitable for use in jewelry.
