White Gold Wedding Bands

FAQs About White Gold Wedding Bands

How much are white gold wedding bands?

The pricing of white gold wedding bands, much like other precious metals, depends on karat weight, the presence of gemstones, and the intricacy of the design. If gems or diamonds are added, the price climbs depending on the number of stones, size, color, and clarity.

In general, white gold is more expensive than yellow and rose gold, but less expensive than platinum. This makes it the best alternative if you’re looking for a pale metal without spending a fortune. Considering the extensive array of options, white gold wedding rings can remain within an affordable range for any buyer.

Can a wedding ring be white gold?

A woman’s wedding ring can be a stunning choice when crafted from white gold. The delicate elegance and easy styling of white gold wedding bands also make them a popular choice to share between couples.

What’s better, platinum or white gold?

When deciding between platinum or white gold, it’s most important to consider personal taste and needs.

Platinum is renowned for its resistance to wear and tear and a naturally pale appearance. It’s also considered an excellent option for those with metal sensitivities, as it typically has a remarkable 95% purity. Though, the purity and high extraction cost make it a more expensive option than white gold wedding bands for women.

On the other hand, white gold is a budget-friendly option that doesn’t sacrifice beauty or caliber. Created using a blend of pure gold and alloyed metals featuring a higher concentration of palladium, our women’s white gold wedding rings are low maintenance and allergy-friendly choices. Due to the palladium content, your ring will never turn yellow, even if the rhodium plating fades over time.

Ultimately, white gold is a better option price-wise, whereas platinum retains higher purity levels and overall strength. No matter what you choose, you never have to sacrifice quality craftsmanship at AURONIA.

Can you shower with white gold?

Due to the durability of white gold, it can take an occasional dip in the water. However, to increase the longevity of the beautiful finish, it’s best to take it off before a shower, when doing the dishes, or using harsh chemicals. Regular maintenance and occasional professional cleaning can also help preserve the pristine nature of women’s white gold wedding rings.

Is it better to get silver or white gold?

There are several factors to consider when deciding if it’s better to get silver or white gold wedding bands, such as price, durability, and overall look.

While both metals look similar thanks to rhodium plating, silver is versatile and the more affordable metal (between the two). However, silver is fairly soft and prone to surface scratches. If you’re after a very smooth, high-shine ring, it might be best to look at women’s white gold wedding rings.

Alternatively, white gold is durable, created by mixing pure gold with other metals to achieve its iridescent white color and strength. The bright white appearance is next to none when considering everyday wear and styling. It’s also a budget-friendly option compared to platinum, which has a similar appearance.

What is the disadvantage of white gold?

The main disadvantage of white gold is that it can fade over time, exposing the natural yellow tint of the gold beneath. This is because some white gold rings are simply yellow gold coated with rhodium.

However, AURONIA’s white gold wedding rings contain 14% palladium, which not only improves the quality of the metal but ensures that your ring never tints yellow. Even if you were to cut through our white gold rings, the center would be pale in color rather than golden. We then reinforce the white gold coloring with an additional rhodium coating to really make the ring shine. While the rhodium may wear down over time, the white gold itself will never lose its brilliance, mitigating the main disadvantage of this precious metal.

Do all white gold rings turn yellow?

While it’s a common occurrence for white gold to exhibit a yellow tint over time, not all women’s white gold wedding rings will experience discoloration. It is important to remember that the natural color of pure gold is yellow. Thus, a little warmth may shine through from initial creation.

Avoiding discoloration lies in the composition of the white gold wedding bands and routine care. If, like ours, they are made with a high concentration of palladium, you do not need to worry about your white gold wedding ring turning yellow.
