white gold diamond earrings

White gold is a beautiful and classic choice for your earrings. It's made from a mixture of pure gold and an alloy of palladium, silver, or nickel which makes it stronger and more durable than yellow gold. White gold is also often coated with rhodium, a corrosive-resistant and highly reflective metal that protects the colour of your earrings over time.

First, there's the colour. White gold is gold that has been annealed to remove impurities and maintain its purity. The resulting metal is a pale yellow colour. Yellow gold has a higher percentage of copper as opposed to white gold. Secondly, there's the metal content: while both types of gold are created by the same process (i.e. by heating copper), yellow gold contains more nickel and zinc than white gold does.

The average cost of white gold earrings can range anywhere between £80-£30,000. It all depends on how much pure gold content is in the gold. There are white gold earrings to suit any budget.

Yes, white gold earrings can be customised! There are white gold earrings to suit any style or taste.

18ct gold essentially means there’s around 75% pure gold in a white gold earring. The remaining 25% is usually a mixture of other types of metal such as silver and copper. 18ct white gold also has slightly more of a silver colour to it. 9ct white gold has around 37% of pure gold and a higher percentage of other metals at 62%.

There are a few ways you can clean and maintain your white gold earrings. Start by soaking the earrings in warm soapy water for around half an hour. You can then lightly brush the earrings with a soft brush such as an old toothbrush or paintbrush to remove any dirt. Make sure to properly rinse the earrings clean with water afterwards.
