Do the 18kt white gold rings turn yellow over time?
Yes, to some extent. Since 18kt white gold is actually 75% pure yellow gold, the jewelry must be rhodium plated. Rhodium plating is standard for all white gold jewelry and gives the item a pure white brilliance and luster. In time, however, the plating tends to wear thin, showing the natural color of the white gold beneath. Vigorous cleaning of the ring (such as with a toothbrush) can accelerate the process. James Allen offers free rhodium plating on all of our white gold jewelry.
