White gold or yellow gold, what is the difference.  Besides the color?

Personally, I like yellow gold, because it looks richer, and brings out the colors of the stones better. White gold makes my skin look too pale.

gold because it's most shiny.\n\n*How many questions do you ask in a day?*

"White gold is an alloy of gold and some white metals such as silver and palladium. White gold can be 18ct, 14ct, 9ct or any karat. For example, 18ct yellow gold is made by mixing 75% gold (750 parts per thousand) with 25% (250 parts per thousand) other metals such as copper and zinc. 18ct white gold is made by mixing 75% gold with 25% other metals such as silver and palladium. So the amount of gold is the same but the alloy is different.\n\nTraditionally nickel was used in white gold, however, nickel is no longer used in most white gold made today as nickel can cause reactions with some people. We do not use nickel in our white gold\n\nWhen white gold rings are new they are coated with another white metal called Rhodium. Rhodium is a metal very similar to platinum and Rhodium shares many of the properties of platinum including its white color.\n\nThe rhodium plating is used to make the white gold look more white. The natural color of white gold is actually a light grey color. The Rhodium is very white and very hard, but it does wear away eventually. To keep a white gold ring looking its best it should be re-rhodium plated approximately each 12 to 18 months. Most local jewelers are able to rhodium plate jewelry for a cost effective price."

Probably white.  But, double check that a pearl is even a mineral - I don't remember that, but it's been a while

It's probably real gold, yes.  It's not pure gold, which is 24K.  14K means they added other elements to it to make it stronger.

China. The Yellow Color was the Imperial Color. No other person was allowed to wear yellow because of its relation to Gold. In fact, Chinese emperors were called Hoang Thun, which meant Gold Ruler. Thats also why they have the Huang He, (The Yellow River).\n\nHope that helps!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold\n\nGold can be mixed as an alloy with other substances to get other colors.  Pure gold is, well, gold-colored.

let's see if i can come up with 10 facts....\n\n\n1. you can change the color of gold by mixing it with an alloy (eg, white gold, rose gold)\n2. there is no such thing as white 24k gold.\n3. the higher the concentration of gold in a piece, the softer it is\n4.if you have a sheet of 24k gold, you can rip it like a piece of paper\n5. largest nugget of near-pure gold discovered was found in Australia. It produced 142 pounds of pure gold. \n6.scientists believe that there may be 70 million tons of gold dissolved in the ocean\n7. gold's chemical symbol is Au from the Latin word for gold, aurum. \n8. a lump of pure gold the size of a matchbox can be flattened into a sheet the size of a tennis court.\n9. absolutely pure gold is so soft that it can be molded with the hands.\n10. an ounce of gold can be stretched into a wire 50 miles long\n\n\n\n\nnot sure if they are "astounding" but there you go. 10 facts about gold.

You're going to be wearing this ring for a long, long time, hopefully for the rest of your life, so for heaven's sake, get what you like! A good bet is to think about the jewelry you wear now, the stuff you find yourself grabbing again and again because you prefer it and it flatters you (watch, earrings, necklaces, etc.) If it's mostly yellow gold, then that's probably what you should choose in a wedding ring.\n\nAnd, no, there's no reason in the world that your two rings need to match. You are two different people, with two different styles, which is a great thing, and should be celebrated. (by the way, my fiancee chose an antique styled yellow gold band, and I chose a more modern styled white gold one. we have the same psalm inscribed in our rings, which unites our two very different styled rings.)\n\nGood luck, and congrats!

msneed took their answer straight from wikipedia off the internet.  The one thing that needs to be mentioned is that pure gold is 24 karat, but 24 karat is too soft for most jewelry applications.  Therefore most jewelry is either 10, 12, 14 or 18 karat.  This means that most all gold jewelry is mixed with either Copper, nickel, zinc, and/or silver.  White gold usually has much more silver and sometimes palladium or rhodium, therefore white gold is more expensive at the same weight as a normal gold item because white gold has more precious metals in its contents.

While 14k gold has more gold in it, 13k is uncommon and would have to be a custom alloy. because of this, it would cost more to have a piece of jewelery made from it. if a piece is marked  13k, look carefully, it could be 18k (which is common) with a messed up 8

Many metallic inks, including "gold" ones, get their metallic sheen from finely ground aluminum powder. That by itself makes a silver colour; adding transparent yellow pigment makes gold ink.

On the contrary, white gold is simply gold that has alloys added to it, namely nickel and palladium, that bleach it and give it its white color. \n\nRhodium is then usually added to make the white gold reflective.\n\nSo for white gold, you pay for the gold, and the processing to make it white. \n\nGood nickel is hard to process, so high carat nickel white gold is expensive.\n\nPalladium is not difficult to process, but it is an expensive metal, so that adds to the cost.

White Gold\nWhite gold is an alloy of gold and some white metals such as silver and palladium. White gold can be 18ct, 14ct, 9ct or any karat. For example, 18ct yellow gold is made by mixing 75% gold (750 parts per thousand) with 25% (250 parts per thousand) other metals such as copper and zinc. 18ct white gold is made by mixing 75%Traditionally nickel was used in white gold, however, nickel is no longer used in most white gold made today as nickel can cause reactions with some people. We do not use nickel in our white gold gold with 25% other metals such as silver and palladium. So the amount of gold is the same but the alloy is different.\nWhen white gold rings are new they are coated with another white metal called Rhodium. Rhodium is a metal very similar to platinum and Rhodium shares many of the properties of platinum including its white color.\n\nPlatinum\nPlatinum is a white metal, but unlike gold it is used in jewellery in almost its pure form (approximately 95% pure). Platinum is extremely long wearing and is very white, so it does not need to be Rhodium plated like white gold. \nPlatinum is very dense (heavy), so a platinum ring will feel heavier than an 18ct gold ring. \nPlatinum is, however, very expensive. A platinum ring will be approximately twice the price of an 18ct white gold ring (excluding gemstone costs).

Gold is the favorite bank reserve to support their currency all around the world. It has limited production and hard to find on Earth. Beside that, every ladies on Earth love to wear the jewelry. Gold is using more and more when the population keeps going up. Now it's $625/ ounce. You can double money in 2 yrs if you bought gold. USD keeps going down, gold will be more expensive.\nMr. Vu
