What is the difference between white gold and platinum jewelry?
While white gold and platinum jewelry may look similar, they have distinct differences:
Composition: White gold is an alloy made by mixing gold with white metals like palladium or nickel, and it is often plated with rhodium to enhance its white appearance. Platinum is a naturally white metal, known for its purity (typically 95% pure).
Durability: Platinum is denser and more durable than white gold, making it more resistant to scratches and wear. However, white gold may require re-plating over time to maintain its appearance.
Cost: Platinum is rarer and more labor-intensive to work with, making it more expensive than white gold.
Weight: Platinum is heavier than white gold, which might be noticeable in larger pieces.
Choosing between white gold and platinum depends on your preference for durability, maintenance, and budget.
