What is the difference between white gold and yellow gold?
Yellow gold and white gold both contain gold. The difference between the two metals is the other alloys that are used with the gold. White gold uses more white metals as alloys. The white metals used in white gold produces the white color of white gold. Rose gold uses copper as one of the alloys, which produces the rose red color of rose gold. The carat (karat) or gold indicates the gold content of the metal. The same carat of gold will contain the same proportion of gold even if the color of the metal appears different. For example, 18kt yellow gold contains 750 parts gold per thousand parts. 18kt white gold contains 750 parts gold per thousand parts. 18kt rose gold contains 750 parts gold per thousand parts. So, as you can see 18kt white, yellow and rose gold each have the same proportion of gold content. This is also the same for 9kt yellow, white and rose gold, which each have 375 parts gold per thousand parts. Yellow gold, white gold and rose gold are all measured using the Vicker
