I feel the same way, honestly. One of the pieces of jewelry that I wear daily is an unplated ring that looks decidedly off-white in the right light. To me, though, that just adds to its appeal. I can't imagine a context where "it looks like it's made of literal gold" is a bug rather than a feature. In general, I just don't *get* plating precious metals. They all look nice.

I was in a jewellers one time and the resident ‘expert’ was telling me how white gold is simply rhodium plated yellow gold. Needless to say I headed for the door. Some jewellers are clueless and it’s so refreshing to see someone who knows their stuff! :)
@TheWinkick3 жыл бұрын
I think he meant something different. A lot of mass producing jewelry companies, mostly from Turkey and China, use yellow gold for its better casting and stamping abilities and slightly lower price, then using rhodium plating for achieving white color, mostly Chines companies even using thick silver coating before rhodium plating, so it will take longer to see yellow gold. My point is, most of resellers are buying from those companies and it is common they will sell you a rhodium plated yellow gold, they might not even know it is yellow gold.

@@TheWinkick Thank you for this. It’s very interesting but I don’t think it applies to the jewellers I was in. They were supposedly ’high end’ and saying it applied to all WG produced. I’ve got a ton of stories when it comes to jewellers. Another is when I asked to see if they had any aquamarines and they wordlessly gave me lapis, or when another was trying to sell me a huge pink CZ stating it was a sapphire. I also used to work as a jeweller and my boss had no idea about a lot of things and would feed rubbish to the customers to try and sound good. It just really grates on me since customers look to jewellers for expert knowledge when sometimes all the jeweller cares about is selling, or just don’t know much beyond the very basics and don’t care to learn. Anyway,, sorry to waffle! 😂

Unfortunately he was correct. The introduction of white metals such as palladium or nickel and silver give gold a pale yellow colour which needs to be plated wirh Rhodium to make it white. I have looked at a recent spec. sheet for a white gold alloy and the range is from 53% palladium to 47% gold to 53% palladium,16% silver and 31%gold. These alloys look white but as you can see the trade off is less actual gold. The trend is more for White gold these days, but as my daughter and wife will tell you. It soon turns back to gold if indeed it is made of gold.....which is yellow.

Palladium was cheaper than gold in the 70s and for a while there after . We used palladium as a cheap white gold for setting pave in small diamonds . The color is not totally white so where possible it was rhodium plated . For almost 40 years I used 19 Kt. white gold rather than 18Kt. with palladium as the 19 is a much better color . I did not bother ever rhodium plating it as it looks very white not as good as platinum for the blue white look but significantly whiter than 18Kt white / palladium .

Jewellers should explore another territory, silver alloyed with PGM. Small amount of PGM will make silver alloy look and behaves better. I have smelted silver piece that was heavy rhodium plated and result button after time looks entirely different than sterling one, it is harder and have nearly lustrous surface. Additionally it seems to be tarnish-less.

They have. John, a metallurgist with Stuller, created a palladium silver called Continuum. It come out casted as hard as Pt900, and can be heat treated to the hardness of 14K. The reason it generally isn't done is because it increases the cost a lot and most aren't willing to pay those prices for silver. Also, PGMs also generally have low solubility in group 11 metals. They have white gold alloys that utilize both nickel and silver, while incorporating less copper. These alloys are far whiter, work better, and are less prone to stress corrosion than normal nickel white gold.

To me, white gold just looks like silver. Especially when the rhodium wears off. To each their own though and I have to say, coloured gems look beautiful set in white gold.

Yeah I don't get the point of white gold when you have to keep replating it with rhodium to keep the white color when you can just wear silver or platinum since people are going to assume that your jewelry is one of the two anyway and they're both naturally white. Plus if I'm paying good money for something solid gold, I want it to look like gold.

hint: there's such a thing like internet that has been around for years, there's also a search app called google for example to make it easy to search things on the internet, hope Malta get either one of these things one day soon, so you can take advantage of it. Kind regards and internet user.
