White gold jewellery is made by mixing pure gold with other metals to give it a whiter appearance. Common alloys like silver, nickel, or palladium are used. After crafting and polishing, white gold jewelry is plated with rhodium, a precious metal, to give it a shiny silver look. Over time, the rhodium plating may wear off and can be reapplied to restore its shine. That's the scoop on white gold!
