Introduction to White Gold Necklaces
White gold is a unique metal with a white silvery tone and classic appeal. More recently, It has become the alternative to platinum and has taken some of the thunder away from yellow gold. White gold is a precious metal made from an alloy of pure gold and other metals like palladium, nickel, zinc, or silver, which give it its characteristic white color. It is believed that white gold originated in the 19th century when jewelers tried to create a white metal that was less costly than platinum and more durable than silver. This is when the white gold alloy was created and became the most popular engagement ring metal alongside yellow gold. German chemist Carl Louis Ullmann obtained the first white metal patent, later referred to as white gold. In Europe, Cartier succeeded in creating a new alloy, enhancing the color, brightness, and durability of the previous versions. However, Karl Gustav and Paul Richter granted the first patent for white gold, making the term official. White gold is a very appealing metal that carries the classic feel of yellow gold but adds a modern flair with its elegant ivory aesthetic. It is durable, high in value, has a lower melting point than platinum, and looks exactly the same. White gold jewelry has gained momentum over the years and has become a go-to for brides and fashion lovers worldwide.

Choosing the Perfect White Gold Necklace
When choosing your white gold necklace, think of the many occasions you’ll wear it. Are you looking for an everyday necklace? Are you attending a wedding or a special event? Envision the piece with the outfit you will wear, and select the one that complements it beautifully. Classic pieces are great for everyday wear, while intricate designs and statement pieces are perfect for your occasions. Another factor to contemplate before selecting your necklace is the fit. The length of the necklace can affect how the piece looks on you. For instance, if you have a shorter neck and chest, a longer and daintier necklace will elongate the area and make it look more feminine. Ensure that it complements your fashion sense and the other pieces in your collection so you can make the most of it and cherish it for a long time.
Things to Know Before Buying a White Gold Necklace
As mentioned earlier, white gold is a precious metal made from an alloy of pure gold and “white-colored” metals like platinum, palladium, and silver. This metal combination makes the metal harder and more durable and alters its color completely, creating a beautiful silvery sheen. White gold will still have a slight golden hue when mixed with other metals. Therefore, to turn it completely silvery, the metal is coated in a precious metal called rhodium. When it comes to white gold, the higher the karat weight, the purer the gold. For example, a 9K white gold piece contains 35% pure gold, while an 18K metal is 75% pure gold. 24K white gold is considered to be 100% pure gold, but this does not make it the best choice for jewelry, as pure gold is very easily bent and scratched. Opting for 14K or 18K white gold perfectly balances quality, durability, and hardness.
