Taking Care of White Gold Jewelry

Diamonds used to always be paired with platinum settings, but now women who are very much into jewelry and gemstones are transitioning from mere platinum settings to white gold, which are not only more beautiful and more luminescent when worn but are a lot more affordable when buying different kinds of jewelry pieces like white gold necklaces, White Gold Diamond pendants, and even earrings and engagement rings.  Indeed, all over the world white gold jewelry is becoming more and more popular among the ladies, so if you are planning on buying white gold jewelry pieces for your mother, aunt, best friend, or a close cousin who is getting married, it is important you know a little about the metal being used to make such beautiful pendants to be able to tell which ones are real and which ones are merely fake replicas.
First of all, white gold is an alloy of the yellow kind of gold, which is normally mixed with at least one or two kinds of metal such as nickel and palladium.  White gold sold in the market, especially those that cost a bundle, would also be plated with rhodium to maximize the durability of the jewelry piece, so if white gold is your choice for a birthday or wedding present, make sure that it has a strong rhodium plating to keep it from discoloring or deteriorating too quickly due to wear and exposure to all kinds of chemicals in the environment.  There are a lot of ways on how to care and maintain white gold jewelry, so make sure that you know these tips in order to prolong the beauty and luminescence of the white gold, especially if it is studded well with diamonds.  Here are just some of the few common tips being used by women with white gold jewelry pieces:

•    Cleaning white gold jewelry – if it is a diamond pendant with a white gold frame, it would be best to use mild cleaning solutions to avoid damaging the white gold as well as ruining the luminescence of the diamonds themselves.  Try using soap, water, and a small and dull toothbrush to clean both the frame and the diamonds themselves to avoid scratching and to bring out the shine of the entire piece.  You can then use a soft cloth to dry the pendant so that scratches won’t form on the sensitive metal.

•    Maintaining white gold jewelry – white gold, in order to keep it durable especially for everyday wear, should be plated with rhodium in order to keep it from getting dented so easily.  Women who wear white gold jewelry pieces everyday, either to work or to parties, should maintain their white gold pieces by getting them rhodium plated or replace the plating every year or at least every 3 years to keep the piece from looking dull and discolored.

•    Storing white gold jewelry pieces – to keep it from getting scratches, it would be best to store white gold jewelry in cloth bags or boxes apart from other jewelry pieces with sharp edges.
