18-karat gold contains 75% gold, and by mixing various metals into the remaining 25%, it can also become white (18-karat rose gold is another example, though we don't carry it).
18-karat white gold has a deep, brownish-silver color. It is characterized by its tenacity and flexibility (it's slightly soft), and it's more prone to scratching on the surface compared to yellow gold.
You often hear that white gold "rusts easily," but that's because many rings are plated to make white gold appear whiter. As they are used, the plating peels off and the color of the base metal shows through. We want you to enjoy the natural color of the base metal without plating.
