White gold was originally developed to imitate platinum (a naturally white metal). White gold is usually an alloy containing about 75% gold and about 25% nickel and zinc. If stamped 18 karat, it would be 75% pure gold.

White gold accentuates the sparkle and brilliance of diamonds as it doesn’t reflect colour through the stone and allows those who prefer the look of silver-coloured metal to honour tradition without compromising on beauty. The purity of gold is measured in karatage, with 24 karats signalling 100% pure gold.

Because gold is a relatively soft metal, most jewelers mix it with other metals such as silver, copper and nickel to increase its hardness and durability. Elements such as sulphur and chlorine react with the other metals in the gold jewelry, causing it to corrode and turn black, thus blackening the skin underneath.
