How White Gold Is Made
White gold is an alloy of fine gold with palladium, less frequently with nickel. The pale tone therefore comes from the alloy itself, not from a coating. Many manufacturers additionally rhodium-plate the surface to make the tone appear even cooler and more uniform.
The Difference from Steel on the Wrist
Visually, the difference from stainless steel is small, but in terms of weight it is considerable: White gold is around twice as heavy. In addition, it refracts light slightly differently, which is particularly noticeable on polished flanks. For many collectors, it is precisely this understatement that makes the case.
