What is the difference between white gold and platinum?
White gold is a mixture of yellow gold and nickel. And depending upon the gold content it could be either 14kt or 18kt. But due to the yellow tinge it is Rhodium plated after the diamonds are set. Rhodium plating gives it the look of Platinum. Platinum is more durable than gold but is comparatively softer and is scratched easily. Depending upon one’s handling white gold jewelry may need to be Rhodium plated once every 3 to 4 years. Platinum is 90 -95 % pure, and will never show a yellowish tinge.
