🗣 SL提问: white gold

✍️ Ai批改: White gold is a popular alloy used in jewelry, made by mixing pure gold with white metals such as nickel, palladium, or silver、Here’s a quick breakdown:

Key Features of White Gold:
1、Composition
Typically 75% gold (18K) or 58.3% gold (14K) mixed with white metals like:
Nickel (durable but can cause allergies)
Palladium (hypoallergenic, more expensive)
Silver (softer, less common)

2、Rhodium Plating
Natural white gold has a slight yellowish tint, so it’s often plated with rhodium (a platinum-group metal) for a bright, silvery-white finish、
Rhodium plating can wear off over time, requiring re-plating every few years.

3、Pros & Cons
✅ More affordable than platinum、
✅ Durable for everyday wear (depending on alloy)、
❌ May cause allergies if nickel is used、
❌ Requires maintenance (re-plating).

4、Common Uses
Engagement rings, wedding bands, necklaces, and earrings、
Often paired with diamonds or gemstones for contrast.
