White gold is a classic, beautiful choice for engagement rings and wedding bands. It works wonderfully with all styles – from vintage to modern. And it pairs perfectly with other metals for a unique, two-tone look.
White Gold vs. Yellow Gold
White gold is available in the same karat options as yellow gold (18k has a higher gold percentage; 14k is more durable and more affordable). It includes alloys such as nickel for a whiter look and is plated with rhodium (this plating can be redone if the ring dulls or scratches over time).

White Gold vs. Platinum
Platinum has a similar look but has some differences with white gold. Platinum is less prone to scratches and isn’t plated so it may need less maintenance than white gold. Platinum can be more hypo-allergenic since it doesn’t include alloys such as nickel. White gold is often more affordable.
Two-Tone Engagement Rings and Wedding Bands
White gold complements yellow gold and rose gold beautifully, both as a ring stack or mixed metals in a single ring.
