We are used to talking about white gold, red gold ... but how do you get white gold?
To achieve the different chromatic finishes of gold, they add different substances that will make the yellow, copper or white tones stand out.
What is white gold made of?
White gold is an alloy of pure gold and palladium or platinum.
Normally 18 karat gold, which is what we offer in our stores and in high-end jewelery, is made up of 18 parts of gold and 6 parts of palladium or platinum.
White gold can also be found in 14 karat or 9 karat. These alloys are of course cheaper than 18 karat as it has less gold.
What is rhodium?
Rhodium is a pure precious metal, which is used among other things to coat white gold pieces and give them a mirror-white finish that pure white gold alloy lacks.
Rhodium is applied to gold as a coating, which has a limited life.
This is not a major problem because coating your jewelery with rhodium again is a not very expensive operation and returns the piece to its original splendor.
Are there jewelry made of rhodium?
How many times have we heard that someone has been given a jewel or that they have even bought it in stores, usually costume jewelery.

Well, it is false, since rhodium is a very inconsistent metal to make parts only of this material, and also, in the hypothetical case that it could, it would have a very high price.
Is white gold more expensive than yellow?
That's right, but the modernization and mechanization of the processes for coating rhodium white gold jewelery, as well as the drop in its price, has made it almost equal to that of yellow sell gold.
However, it is a reality that white gold jewelry requires greater maintenance due to the possibility that the rhodium coating has to be repeated due to wear and tear caused by use.
