Are you looking for a secondhand white gold ring? Then you've come to the right place at 2ehandssieraden.nl. Our selection includes a wide range of rings crafted from white gold. The color of the precious metal used largely determines the ring's appearance. Everyone has different tastes, of course, and we therefore recommend carefully considering which type of ring suits you best. For example, are you sure you want a gold ring? Then keep in mind that not all gold is the same. A white gold ring, for example, looks very different from a yellow gold ring. Below, you'll find the complete collection of white gold rings at 2ehandssieraden.nl.
How is a white gold ring made?
As you've already read above, there are different types of gold rings. Gold rings can also take on different colors because gold is a soft precious metal. This soft precious metal isn't hard enough to be made into a ring. The ring would eventually lose its shape and become scratch-resistant. Therefore, various other materials are added to form an alloy. Examples of alloys include white gold, red gold, and yellow gold.
White gold is the name for an alloy of gold with nickel or palladium. During the production of a white gold ring, the gold is mixed with a white metal, which gives the ring its white color. White gold is generally used primarily for jewelry. However, these days, palladium is increasingly being used instead of nickel. This is due to strict regulations regarding nickel. To finish white gold, it is often rhodium-plated. This means a thin layer of rhodium is applied to the gold. This layer protects the gold from oxidation and ensures that the white gold ring retains its color longer.
What is the history of white gold?
White gold hasn't been used in jewelry making for very long. In the years before World War II, platinum was primarily used to make white and/or silver-colored jewelry. However, a large portion of the platinum supply was consumed in the production of weapons, batteries, and much more. This presented jewelers with a problem: they needed a new material to fill this shortage. This alternative turned out to be white gold, and white gold is still widely used in jewelry making today.
How can you combine white gold with other jewelry?
Because a white gold ring is subtle, it can easily be worn with other precious metals. These days, it's even become a trend to combine different gold tones. We often see women choosing to pair white gold with, for example, rose gold or red gold.
