What White Gold Actually Is
White gold is not a naturally white metal — it's gold alloyed with a "white" metal, traditionally nickel or, in better-quality pieces, palladium, and it's then almost always finished with a thin rhodium plating for that bright, mirror-white shine. Strip the rhodium plating away and the alloy underneath actually has a faint yellowish-grey cast, not the icy white you see on the showroom shelf — the rhodium is doing most of the visual work.
The gold content is priced off the same live benchmark as any other karat gold — ₹15,031.44 per gram for 24K on September 14, 2026 — but white gold jewellery itself is typically made in 18K (75% gold) or 14K, since a lower gold percentage leaves more room for the white alloy metals to do their job:
- 22K gold base (1 gram): ₹13,778.82
- 18K gold base (1 gram): ₹11,273.58
- 10 grams (18K base): ₹112,735.80
Nickel-alloyed white gold is cheaper to produce than palladium-alloyed white gold, since palladium itself is a valuable platinum-group metal — so two pieces at the same karat and weight can carry different bills depending on which alloy metal the jeweller used, on top of the making charge.

White Gold Is Not Platinum — Here's the Real Difference
This is the confusion buyers run into most often, and it's worth addressing directly: white gold and platinum can look nearly identical on the shelf, but they are different metals with different economics. Platinum is naturally white and doesn't need rhodium plating to look that way — it keeps its colour on its own, for life. It's also significantly denser and heavier than gold, and platinum jewellery is typically sold at a much higher purity (often 950, i.e. 95% pure) than any karat-gold piece. White gold, by contrast, gets its white finish from a thin rhodium coating over a gold-and-alloy base, and that coating is not permanent.
Why white gold needs re-plating and platinum doesn't
Rhodium plating wears thin with everyday contact — skin oils, soap, friction — and as it thins, the alloy's natural faint yellow-grey tone starts to show through, especially at edges and high-contact points like a ring's underside. Most jewellers recommend re-plating a white gold piece roughly every one to two years of regular wear to keep it looking bright white; a piece worn daily may need it sooner, one worn occasionally can go longer. Platinum simply never needs this step, which is one of the real ongoing cost differences between the two metals that a one-time price tag doesn't capture.
BIS hallmarking on white gold still certifies gold purity only — 750 for 18K, 916 for 22K — not the alloy metal used or the plating quality, so those are worth asking about separately when you buy.

White Gold vs Rose Gold — Two Alloy Routes, Same Gold Base
White gold and rose gold both start from the same karat gold and diverge purely in which metal is alloyed in — palladium or nickel (plus rhodium plating) for white gold's cool tone, copper for rose gold's warm one. Neither is more or less "gold" than the other at the same karat; the pure-gold percentage is identical.
For pure investment value rather than a piece to wear and maintain, physical jewellery of any alloy is the least efficient route, since making charges and — for white gold specifically — future re-plating cost are locked in at purchase and rarely recovered in full at resale. Our gold investments overview compares coins, bars, ETFs, digital gold and Sovereign Gold Bonds for buyers weighing that trade-off.
White Gold Price — Questions Buyers Ask
White gold is gold alloyed with a white metal — traditionally nickel, or palladium in better-quality pieces — then finished with a thin rhodium plating for its bright white shine. The alloy itself, underneath the plating, actually has a faint yellowish-grey tone; the rhodium is what makes it look icy white.
No. Platinum is naturally white and never needs plating, is significantly denser than gold, and is usually sold at a much higher purity (often 950). White gold gets its white colour from rhodium plating over a gold alloy, and that plating wears and needs periodic renewal — platinum never does.
Most jewellers recommend re-plating roughly every one to two years of regular wear, since rhodium plating thins with everyday contact and the alloy's natural yellowish-grey tone starts to show through, especially at edges and high-contact points.
Most white gold jewellery is 18K (750, 75% pure gold) or 14K, rather than 22K, because a lower gold percentage leaves more room in the alloy for the white metals to dominate the colour. 18K white gold works out to about ₹11,273.58 per gram on a metal-content basis today.
Yes. Palladium is itself a valuable platinum-group metal, so palladium-alloyed white gold typically costs more to produce than nickel-alloyed white gold at the same karat and weight — on top of whatever making charge the jeweller adds.
Nickel is a known skin sensitiser for some wearers, so nickel-alloyed white gold can occasionally cause irritation, while palladium-alloyed white gold is generally better tolerated. If you have sensitive skin, ask which alloy metal a piece uses before buying.
