White Gold

White gold is a form of gold with a distinct pale white or cream color; it's an alloy of gold and at least one white metal, either nickel, manganese, or palladium, which typically makes up approximately 10% of the alloy.

Make a fashion statement with white gold:

• A silk blouse or a dress in navy would look extremely elegant and chic paired with white gold stud earrings and a necklace. Cream clothes are a bit difficult to pair with jewelry. But if you are going for a head-to-toe cream look, then white gold jewelry is the best option.

• Besides wearing all "silver tones," those who want to match with white gold jewelry can also opt to wear a piece that will bridge gold and white gold tones by containing both in a stylish pattern or motif.

• White gold (and silver for personal reference) pairs best with cool tones on the color wheel like green, navy, and violet. A white gold metal looks brilliant with a diamond, sapphire, emerald, or plum garnet gemstone since these all fall within the cool-toned gemstones.
