I think he meant something different. A lot of mass producing jewelry companies, mostly from Turkey and China, use yellow gold for its better casting and stamping abilities and slightly lower price, then using rhodium plating for achieving white color, mostly Chines companies even using thick silver coating before rhodium plating, so it will take longer to see yellow gold. My point is, most of resellers are buying from those companies and it is common they will sell you a rhodium plated yellow gold, they might not even know it is yellow gold.

Unfortunately he was correct. The introduction of white metals such as palladium or nickel and silver give gold a pale yellow colour which needs to be plated wirh Rhodium to make it white. I have looked at a recent spec. sheet for a white gold alloy and the range is from 53% palladium to 47% gold to 53% palladium,16% silver and 31%gold. These alloys look white but as you can see the trade off is less actual gold. The trend is more for White gold these days, but as my daughter and wife will tell you. It soon turns back to gold if indeed it is made of gold.....which is yellow.
@@nickreeder2979 there’s many stages in creating jewelry, one person doesn’t typically do everything from start to finish. A caster casts a setter sets etc.
Nickle is often added to gold to make white gold. That is why some people have an allergic reaction when they wear white gold they are allergic to the nickel in white gold.

I'm working for more than 25 years in the precious metals branch. I haven't seen a 18ct white gold with a palladium content of 25%. It would be too expensive. Normally they are using silver, tin and 10 till 16% from Palladium.

I never liked that a pure 75% gold alloy got coated with another metal. It kinda defuses the prupose of gold, being made of gold becomes pure status in the end. I wonder if you can order jewelry from white gold without the coating.
No one alloys with brass. One would have no control over color. Brass is a mixture of copper and zinc. 18k yellow gold has copper and silver added in equal (12.5%) proportions generally
Well the main difference is...if you think you're too good for silver..and you want that color..you're better off with platinum. No offense to anyone. I think I'm too good for fake jewelry so...I can be a snob too.
I wear a 22 kt earring .I usually make .925 or .999 silver rings or whatever my customer wants. I prefer yellow gold. What is the compostion of 22 kt gold ?
Seems rather silly to me that people rhodium plate white gold and platinum when rhodium over silver could be used. What a waste of money as no one will ever know what's under the rhodium. Freshly polished silver IMO looks a heck of a lot like rhodium. As a lover of rhodium, but not of having to get get rings plated constantly, I've simply switched to wearing silver. Honestly, the average person would have no idea if it's silver, platinum or rhodium anyway (not that I care that others know what I'm wearing, but it's interesting nonetheless).

Excuse me sir... can make yellow gold the white gold? I have a ring here white gold... so I want to make this yellow gold... to melt this... I hope we can make... thank you for your answer...
Palladium was cheaper than gold in the 70s and for a while there after . We used palladium as a cheap white gold for setting pave in small diamonds . The color is not totally white so where possible it was rhodium plated . For almost 40 years I used 19 Kt. white gold rather than 18Kt. with palladium as the 19 is a much better color . I did not bother ever rhodium plating it as it looks very white not as good as platinum for the blue white look but significantly whiter than 18Kt white / palladium . My 2 cents as a retired Canadian jeweler .
To me, white gold just looks like silver. Especially when the rhodium wears off. To each their own though and I have to say, coloured gems look beautiful set in white gold.
Yeah I don't get the point of white gold when you have to keep replating it with rhodium to keep the white color when you can just wear silver or platinum since people are going to assume that your jewelry is one of the two anyway and they're both naturally white. Plus if I'm paying good money for something solid gold, I want it to look like gold.
It depends . White gold and white diamond is absolutely gorgeous and most popular (more than 75% of people choose white gold for engagement). It represents purity and youth. And it’s a little bit more sturdy than yellow gold , less scratches
@@Pentax67 yes that is true but also more maintenance on white gold. I dip my wife’s ring every 6 months or so depending on how fast it wears. And it’s about 60 bucks every time. And my yellow ring is good. I have a yellow gold ring that I have had for 17 years and it still looks good.
Go to a custom jeweler, your money will go farther (the mamer will get that compensation instead of a big department or chain jeweler) and quality will be MUCH better!! As a jeweler myself, I ONLY use 14k for strength - and I don't use it for anything but the shank and ONLY if the client insists on it. 14k is the bottom of the pile - absolutely the minimum. You want white, go with platinum or palladium or silver (comparatively soft) I say! Good luck. I cant believe the UK sells 9kt gold legally and with a straight face. Ouch!
Hello, I’m looking for advise on how to change a white gold Diana style ring into yellow gold, would this be an straight forward job ? And is it worth doing as I feel yellow gold looks better than white gold
I feel like this job would be difficult because you would have to essentially change the entire composition of the band. In other words, the ring would have to be recreated with yellow gold alloy to identically match the current ring. You could look into plating the white gold with yellow gold plating, but that would have the issue of it fading off.
Has your white gold turned to yellow? I.e. was it ordinary yellow gold and Rhodium plated.? Most white gold rings are made this way. I have bought a plating kit to keep my daughter's white gold wedding band white when it fades back to yellow.
they can also heat treat it or chemically change the white to yellow just like lab created gemstones they can resurface gold. my name ring was white gold on the bottom back in 94 . over the years into the millenium it faded in the corners and the jewelry shop resurfaced and made the whole ring back into yellow in 2008 i liked it better the second time and they made look like new i was in tears . so yes it can be done.
Jewellers should explore another territory, silver alloyed with PGM. Small amount of PGM will make silver alloy look and behaves better. I have smelted silver piece that was heavy rhodium plated and result button after time looks entirely different than sterling one, it is harder and have nearly lustrous surface. Additionally it seems to be tarnish-less.
They have. John, a metallurgist with Stuller, created a palladium silver called Continuum. It come out casted as hard as Pt900, and can be heat treated to the hardness of 14K. The reason it generally isn't done is because it increases the cost a lot and most aren't willing to pay those prices for silver. Also, PGMs also generally have low solubility in group 11 metals. They have white gold alloys that utilize both nickel and silver, while incorporating less copper. These alloys are far whiter, work better, and are less prone to stress corrosion than normal nickel white gold.
Thanks so much. I haven’t done any casting since high school, this brings back memories. My question is: why do I get a reaction to 14K yellow gold pierced earrings? I assumed the alloy had some nickel in it for brightness, but now I’m not sure.
could be anything I don't have a lot of info but could be it pierced poorly, it's getting constantly bumped, you're touching it, sleeping on it, externally threaded jewellery, you put a hoop in too soon the list goes on and on I'd recommend you go to a reputable piercer and ask them

@@PlaywithDaisy my wedding ring is yellow gold and I’ve worn it non stop for eight years and it’s never given me any problems.
how many karat is your ring 14k / 18k? do you wear it in the shower? does it slip off? is it still shiny these days? im just curious. thanks in advance!
@@isabellaquijano5617 my wife hasn’t had the rash in a while but I’m not sure of the karats on hers. My wedding ring is 14K yellow gold and I wear it in the shower and everywhere else. Mine gets a little scuffed up and dirty from working in it but a little bit of metal polish shines it back up pretty nice, it brings back the shine on my wife’s white gold ring too.

Pure Solid White Gold Formula it's life time Guaranties, for the next 5 years stable world market price, strong better that yellow gold and rhodium plate our palladium mix yellow gold metal.
Can you mix a white gold wedding band and a yellow gold wedding band and add yellow gold to make three rings out of two?
I wear yellow gold but I do also have my white engagement ring and wedding band in white gold.
I love yellow gold. Looks better on my skin tone. But while shopping for engagement and wedding rings it was EXCEPTIONALLY hard to find one I liked in a yellow gold setting smh they were all white or platinum. My fiance had to order mine custom smh
MENE has only 24K gold & Pl, and you can take that to a local jeweler and they can set a stone.
I just bought my granddaughter a white gold necklace, I thought it was silver, she said no it's white gold.............. I'm not into jewelry, so I never heard of white gold lol...........
That must have been an expensive "silver" necklace, you are generous in your gifting - awesome!!
Actually you can get rose gold which is pretty we known. But you can also get green and purple gold. They are extremely rare!☺️
Haha. You wasted some money. I'm just kidding. I mean..I buy silver and yellow gold..and don't bother with white gold. But she probably likes it better cause it's more expensive. I am sure you are on her good side for a long time.
Thank You.I Love white gold
Beautiful and informative about gold rings! Thanks a lot.😁😍😍😍😍😍
how do we buy 22 karat gold? usually people just sell either 18 k or 14 k
Hey Jacocje sells some 22k gold. He has a TH-cam channel. Only recommending him because he seems legit and fair enough prices and I think businesses like his should get recognition.
Excuse me sir... can make yellow gold the white gold? I have a ring here white gold... so I want to make this yellow gold... to melt this... I hope we can make... thank you for your answer...
Palladium was cheaper than gold in the 70s and for a while there after . We used palladium as a cheap white gold for setting pave in small diamonds . The color is not totally white so where possible it was rhodium plated . For almost 40 years I used 19 Kt. white gold rather than 18Kt. with palladium as the 19 is a much better color . I did not bother ever rhodium plating it as it looks very white not as good as platinum for the blue white look but significantly whiter than 18Kt white / palladium . My 2 cents as a retired Canadian jeweler .
If I want white colored jewlry I just go with sterling silver and let gold to be the bright yellow it normaly is.
love both and will wear both together
To me, white gold just looks like silver. Especially when the rhodium wears off. To each their own though and I have to say, coloured gems look beautiful set in white gold.
No l agree with you white gold does just look like silver!
Yeah I don't get the point of white gold when you have to keep replating it with rhodium to keep the white color when you can just wear silver or platinum since people are going to assume that your jewelry is one of the two anyway and they're both naturally white. Plus if I'm paying good money for something solid gold, I want it to look like gold.
gemstones look better on yellow gold and never go out of style.
It depends . White gold and white diamond is absolutely gorgeous and most popular (more than 75% of people choose white gold for engagement). It represents purity and youth. And it’s a little bit more sturdy than yellow gold , less scratches
@@Pentax67 yes that is true but also more maintenance on white gold. I dip my wife’s ring every 6 months or so depending on how fast it wears. And it’s about 60 bucks every time. And my yellow ring is good.
I have a yellow gold ring that I have had for 17 years and it still looks good.
Yellow gold is the best and looks the most expensive too.
I wonder what would happen if you would rodium plate stainles steel? Would it look similar to white gold since there is a plating?
Have it gold plated
Stainless steel already has similar look to rhosium plating
I actually never knew that about the 24k Gil being bendable
I wish we have jewerly with 18, 20 K gold. Coz all trusted brands make jewelry with only 14K
Go to a custom jeweler, your money will go farther (the mamer will get that compensation instead of a big department or chain jeweler) and quality will be MUCH better!! As a jeweler myself, I ONLY use 14k for strength - and I don't use it for anything but the shank and ONLY if the client insists on it. 14k is the bottom of the pile - absolutely the minimum. You want white, go with platinum or palladium or silver (comparatively soft) I say! Good luck. I cant believe the UK sells 9kt gold legally and with a straight face. Ouch!
@@flyingcheff I wonder in the video, he uses 75% gold 25% palladium can you swap palladium for platinum and still get white gold?
Hello, I’m looking for advise on how to change a white gold Diana style ring into yellow gold, would this be an straight forward job ? And is it worth doing as I feel yellow gold looks better than white gold
Did you ever find a solution?
@@digitallocations1423 nope no solutions
I feel like this job would be difficult because you would have to essentially change the entire composition of the band. In other words, the ring would have to be recreated with yellow gold alloy to identically match the current ring. You could look into plating the white gold with yellow gold plating, but that would have the issue of it fading off.
Has your white gold turned to yellow? I.e. was it ordinary yellow gold and Rhodium plated.? Most white gold rings are made this way. I have bought a plating kit to keep my daughter's white gold wedding band white when it fades back to yellow.
they can also heat treat it or chemically change the white to yellow just like lab created gemstones they can resurface gold. my name ring was white gold on the bottom back in 94 . over the years into the millenium it faded in the corners and the jewelry shop resurfaced and made the whole ring back into yellow in 2008 i liked it better the second time and they made look like new i was in tears . so yes it can be done.
I had to keep turning the volume up or down. Volume up when you talk, volume down when the music starts blasting!
Thank you for the great video! Which type of stone was used in the turquoise-blue colored ring near the end? It was really pretty! Thank you!
looks like aquamarine?
@@fishtie894 Thank you, Fishtie!
Neither white nor yelloe gold suit me but something between the two would be perfect..where can I get such jewelry?
Check out rose gold.
@@Crystal-zs1xx I do like rose gold but prefer a champagne coloured metal.. between silver and gold..between warm and cold
@@justinebourke2811 Unfortunately I can't think of anything else. Lol
There is no white gold. Is a confused naming. That's platinum, a totally different metal from gold.
All 14k/18k will get a 24k goldplating due to the “light” color of the gold, some people loves yellow
Which goes better with an IJ diamond? 14k white gold or 14k yellow gold?
White gold looks better if it fitted with diamond
How to find palladium
I have Ring but it is not silver, steel i dont know
Hi handsome... You look like more gold than white and yellow.. ❤❤❤❤❤
I always felt yellow gold looks like junk, just my opinion
And white gold looks like silver. So why buy gold and just stick to silver?
Lol that’s my wife she only likes white gold and I only like yellow lol
Our wedding rings don’t match lol
@@samiam619 because it doesn't look like silver
No one asked
Thank you
Bro, should have started with the fact that there is no such thing as white gold.
Jewellers should explore another territory, silver alloyed with PGM. Small amount of PGM will make silver alloy look and behaves better.
I have smelted silver piece that was heavy rhodium plated and result button after time looks entirely different than sterling one, it is harder and have nearly lustrous surface. Additionally it seems to be tarnish-less.
They have. John, a metallurgist with Stuller, created a palladium silver called Continuum. It come out casted as hard as Pt900, and can be heat treated to the hardness of 14K.
The reason it generally isn't done is because it increases the cost a lot and most aren't willing to pay those prices for silver. Also, PGMs also generally have low solubility in group 11 metals.
They have white gold alloys that utilize both nickel and silver, while incorporating less copper. These alloys are far whiter, work better, and are less prone to stress corrosion than normal nickel white gold.
Silver is garbage
@@salpemagarian1982 If you say so then fill my garbage full of it. :)
Is 14k yellow gold real gold or plated ? and isn't 14k gold suppose to be gold color?
I want to learn high jewelry design, about diamonds and gemstones and manufacturing and work under jewelry brand. Where do i go and learn?
What is rose gold? In india we have some jewelry with rose gold color.
How come when you search the differences it says nickel and zinc are added and not pladium?
maybe certain manufacturers do that to keep costs down
Palladium white gold is a relatively recent and superior alloy to nickel/zinc
Thanks so much. I haven’t done any casting since high school, this brings back memories. My question is: why do I get a reaction to 14K yellow gold pierced earrings? I assumed the alloy had some nickel in it for brightness, but now I’m not sure.
could be anything I don't have a lot of info but could be it pierced poorly, it's getting constantly bumped, you're touching it, sleeping on it, externally threaded jewellery, you put a hoop in too soon the list goes on and on I'd recommend you go to a reputable piercer and ask them
18k yellow gold or better. There is no substitute.
Better not go over 18K , otherwise it will bend . Or dented from daily wear
Please can any one guide me if tanzanite is a good investment?
