What is the difference between yellow gold and white gold?
1 Answer
The difference between yellow gold and white gold comes down to the alloys used to produce them. Yellow gold gets its color from pure gold and alloy metals in warm hues like copper. On the other hand, white gold's cool appearance is owed to the presence of alloy metals like silver, zinc, palladium and nickel. Shop a variety of gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
