If I am allergic to gold, can I wear white gold instead? I do not understand the difference between the two.?

yellow gold and white gold are the same in the allergy department.  \nstart looking at platinum, but beware that platinum dulls very quickly and i'm not sure if jewelers can get it to shine again.\n\ngosh....i feel for you.  ask jewelers if there are any treatments for the gold that would put a barrier between your skin and the metal...maybe some kind of coating??

White gold is an alloy of gold that contains another metal, like platinum, causing it to look more like silver.  While gold always contains less actual gold than pure gold, but may be more valuable on an ounce basis if the alloy metal is more valuable than gold.  One common use of white gold is to make the metal much harder than 24 carat gold so that it is more resistant to dents and other damage.

I have never heard of the "golds" of science.  Besides yellow gold, white gold, and fool's gold....what other golds are there?

I have  on a white gold ring and a silver ring next to it so I' tell u what I see. First I don't see yellow at all, and the color is close to the silver but the difference to me is that gold looks stronger, like the molecules are closer or something. You can tell it is a harder substance.

rose gold is alloyed with copper, white gold is alloyed with silver. The karat value of the different pieces would determine their value in a gold market. In a retail market, hallmarking, craftsmanship, and supply and demand would dictate the values of each type of piece.

No. White gold is an alloy of gold and silver. Therefore is less expensive than gold since it has a small percent of silver in it.\n(But be careful because some people refer to platinum as white gold. Platinum is far more expensive than gold)

Gold is seldom found in its raw form, usually it's an ore, together with other metals etc. After mining this ore, it needs to be processed, usually it is ground to small bits and then treated chemically, but there are other ways, too.\n\nAt the end of the day, you have gold in the form we know and value. Even so, since gold is such a soft metal, it is usually sold in alloy form, with silver, copper, platin, palladium or other metals. This also gives it its color, which can range from red, to silver-white, golden, green or even blue.

Actually, the metals or their oxides are being deposited on your skin.  Color changes can be accelerated by acidity and moisture from your skin.\n\nYou can slow the reaction down if you want to wear some jewelry by coating it with a thin coating of vaseline.  This will keep it from getting wet from your skin as easily.

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).

You can buy white powder of gold from the site below, it gives a detailed description of it's history,  what it is and the possible benefits too.\n\nhttp://www.whitepowdergold.com/

Sorry can't help you with that, I've never worn one, but I suggest using a new, sterile one, and getting that rash checked out.  Perhaps buy a smaller, or bigger, one so it doesn't rub or irritate the skin.  But what do I know, I'm a girl!

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."

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!

if you are allergic to only the egg white you are most likely allergic to the protein that is in it. the main protein that makes up an egg white is ovalburnin. different people are allergic to different things so you're just made that way. so be careful with what you eat!

You can change your yellow gold ring to white by having a jeweller coat it with rodium.  This is not permanent, it will eventually wear off.

pure gold is super soft and would not hold a diamond. That is why jewelry gold is only so many karats and not pure.
