White as they come

White gold, silver, no. People often refer to white gold and silver, apparently, and the feeling that the latter. This is partially true, because in reality, white gold is an alloy of gold and other white metal, usually silver and palladium.

The combination of silver and palladium removes yellow gold and looks more like a type of white silver. But even if the white gold alloy is still measured accurately as karat gold. Other white metals used in combination with gold and platinum contain nickel.

Each metal is used in combination with other gold mining properties. Nickel alloys of gold, for example, creates a strong, hard metal, which is ideal for rings and pins. But, white gold-palladium alloys are relatively soft and flexible, for they are good bead settings.

However, the disadvantage that the use of white gold-nickel alloy body jewelry is that it may cause different reactions in the skin, while nickel is bio-compatible. Some may have very mild reaction to the metal with only mild itching and rashes. It is possible, however, these effects its ugly if they lead to infections. Therefore, it is best to consider your body chemistry first before you buy any kind of body jewelry.

But white gold is very popular, as the body jewelry. You can find a white gold gemstone rings, ladies jewelry, nipple rings and navel, nose, buttons, earrings and pierced tongue. The reliability of the material is documented. Many people compared with white gold, platinum, especially if both are used in the body jewelry.

Platinum is better in terms of jewelry, because it is more durable than metal are available. There is a real white flowers, unlike white gold which is actually like steel gray suit. Platinum is harder than gold and last longer. But the hardest part of the body of platinum jewelry costs. Whether you believe or not, pure platinum is worth more than gold.

Indeed, white gold is created exclusively for jewelry only to find a cheaper alternative to platinum. It was in 1920 when the first alloys to make jewelry and precious stones industry.

Today, the alloy is well known material for body jewelry and have their own sense of fashion and value. White gold is often used as the setting for diamonds and other gems to increase appeal. Like what was mentioned above, is also white gold is measured in carats. However, that white gold would only produce up to 21 carats.

Now, when they hear a higher carat white gold, it does not mean that gold is white. White gold is a combination of gold and other metals. Color is influenced by the properties of metals added to gold and not much gold. Actually, it's white gold, nickel-palladium-white or white.

The main difference is that the nickel-white gold with white cooler, where palladium white "is a bit warmer. It is also very difficult to obtain a good nickel, as opposed to white with white palladium, which has a tendency to deal better soft. As the price of palladium, however, palladium white is cheaper.

When buying gold, always remember that the majority of white North American market in gold, nickel and white. Nickel problem is that around 12-15% of people who are allergic to metal. Skin contact with nickel can cause a red rash or irritation.
