Is the color of white gold different to platinum?
The answer to this question depends on whether the white gold jewelry item is in its natural color or whether it has been rhodium plated. If a white gold item has been rhodium plated (note: most white gold rings are rhodium plated) then the color difference will not really be noticeable at all. For example, the image on the left shows a rhodium plated 18kt white gold diamond engagement ring together with a platinum wedding ring. As you can see, there is essentially no difference in the metal color.
