White Gold versus Rhodium Plating

All white gold is derived from yellow gold, and adding different alloys to the metal produces the colour. Some people believe that white gold has to be plated or 'dipped'. This is true of production and it is done to hide off-white colours and imperfections. The white gold we use in our hand made jewellery is 19K and white through and through. We use this higher quality metal because it never needs to be plated, it always stays white! Rhodium plating your jewellery is like painting your nails... eventually you have to take it all off and do it again. If you begin with quality, you end with quality!
