The Truth About White Gold

Have you ever looked at your favorite white gold ring and wondered why it doesn't look quite as bright as it used to?

Here's a little secret...

White gold actually starts as yellow gold.

To create the beautiful, bright white finish we all love, jewelers coat white gold with a precious metal called rhodium. Rhodium gives your jewelry its brilliant, mirror-like shine while also providing a layer of protection against everyday wear.

But just like anything you wear every day, that rhodium finish naturally wears away over time.

As it does, you may begin to notice your white gold jewelry taking on a slightly warmer or more yellow tone.

This is completely normal! It doesn't mean anything is wrong with your jewelry. It's simply a sign that it's time for a little professional TLC.

Bring Back the Sparkle ✨

At Sami Fine Jewelry, we recommend having your white gold jewelry professionally inspected every 6 months. When you bring it in, we can also provide a quote to check, tighten, and rhodium it to make it shine just as brightly as the day you fell in love with it.

Whether it's your engagement ring, wedding band, earrings, bracelet, or favorite necklace, regular maintenance helps keep your jewelry looking beautiful for years to come.
