White Gold Jewelry

White gold is now outselling yellow gold in many of today’s jewelry stores. This is because white gold compliments all skin tones and meshes well with most women’s wardrobe. White gold is a blend of gold with another lighter alloy such as nickel or palladium. For those sensitive to nickel check for a white gold created with palladium.

White gold is durable and is great for gemstone settings. Its purity is also measured by carats. Look for a weight of around 18 carats for the highest quality. The metal looks especially stunning when it is set with diamonds.

White gold is often used with precious stones because of its high quality. Common gems include diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires. When presented with one of these dazzling stones your white gold piece is sure to shine.
