What is white gold?
Typical 18-karat white gold for engagement and wedding rings contains 75% gold. White gold engagement rings are never pure white, but have a slight grey, yellow or brown tinge, depending on the alloy. This is why most white gold jewelry tends to be rhodium-plated, i.e. coated with a thin layer of metal called rhodium to give it a beautiful shiny finish. If you want the lightest possible ring for an engagement ring, you should choose palladium or platinum instead of white gold. These metals are even lighter than white gold.
