Is white gold real gold?

Gold doesn’t naturally occur as white gold, but can be combined with other white metals such as silver, nickel to create the soft colour. Classic yellow gold is also mixed with other metals for improved hardness, which means you’ll always get a similar amount of gold regardless of colour. (18ct white gold has the same gold content as 18ct yellow gold).

Really, both are equally precious and make some of the best jewellery in the world.

How long does white gold last?
