white gold
Silvery jewelry metal
White gold is a gold alloy mixed with white metals—typically nickel, palladium, or silver—to produce a silvery appearance.
It offers gold's value and workability with a color resembling platinum at lower cost.
Most white gold jewelry is plated with rhodium for added brightness and durability: a white gold engagement ring.
