Only in color. To make white gold, yellow gold is alloyed with copper and silver and with small amounts of nickel and zinc to create a white look. Therefore, it doesn’t have the same purity, strength, durability, or the unique natural white luster of platinum. White gold often has a faint yellow tinge. Another difference lies in weight. Platinum weighs 60% more than 14k gold — a pretty big difference!
