WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHITE GOLD AND OTHER GOLD? WELL, THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE COLOR.  WELL YOUR PROBABLY SAYING I KNEW THAT!

LET ME EXPLAIN... GOLD AS IT COMES OUT OF THE GROUND IS PURE AND IS YELLOW. IT IS VERY SOFT . THAT IS 24 K GOLD

MANY PEOPLE LIKE THE YELLOW COLOR OF GOLD.

NOW TO GET YOUR WHITE GOLD AN ALLOY OF PALLADIUM AND NICKEL ARE ADDED TO THE GOLD.

TO MAKE THE GOLD HARDER ZINC IS USUALLY ADDED.

THE "KARAT" TELLS HOW MUCH ALLOY OF OTHER METALS ARE USED.

24K: PURE AND VERY SOFT

22K: 91.67% GOLD

20K: 83.33% GOLD

18 K: 75 %GOLD

14K GOLD IS THE MOST COMMON AND CAN BE YELLOW OR OTHER COLORS.

14 K WHITE GOLD HAS A YELLOW TINGE AND USUALLY HAS PLATINUM ADDED TO GIVE IT A WHITE APPEARANCE.

10 K GOLD IS 41.67% GOLD...IT IS THE LOWEST ALLOY THAT CAN BE CALLED GOLD AND IT IS VERY BRITTLE

I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU OUT JUST REMEMBER THE HIGHER THE "KARAT" THE SOFTER AND PURER THE GOLD
