White Gold
18ct Gold is also the most durable of all the commercially used caratages, ensuring your piece will last a lifetime, and if care is taken, you will be able to hand it down to the next generation as heirloom jewellery. The term for the purity scale of Gold, ‘carat’, should not be confused with the measurement term for mass in gemstones, which is also ‘carat’. Adding different Alloys to Pure Gold can also change the colour. One could add Palladium or Silver to 24ct Yellow Gold to create White Gold. The amount of those two alloys that are added will again determine the caratage of White Gold. Read all about White Gold here. Adding Copper to 24ct Pure Gold will result in the warm pink glow of Rose Gold.

White Gold is routinely Rhodium Plated to give it that shiny grey white appearance. We recommend that you bring your White Gold jewellery in to Carla Maxine Jewellery every couple of years, for a replating, and then we normally do a check up as well, to make sure all the claws are still in place, etc. If you prefer not to do routine replatings, consider having your bespoke piece crafted in Platinum. To read more about the intricacies of Gold Caratage and the different Alloys used with Pure Gold, have a look at the Yellow Gold page.
