Men's White Gold Necklaces

If you are looking for a stunning silver necklace but without the costly price tag of a platinum one, then a white gold necklace can be a good option. A White gold necklace can look great combined with a diamond, a cross, pearl, or a name plate. White gold necklaces are not just for women but they are also a popular choice for men.

White gold is gold that has been alloyed usually with a mixture of nickel, zinc, tin, manganese and sometimes palladium. White gold was originally developed during World War II to imitate platinum. During the time in the US, platinum was considered a strategic material and its use was prohibited for most non-military applications like jewelry making). White jewelry is sometimes plated with a platinum like substance called rhodium. This substance is very white, reflective, extremely hard and virtually tarnish proof, giving it a finish comparable to real platinum jewelry at around half the price.

However, the plated finish will wear off over the years and the yellow coloring may slowly emerge. It will never completely turn into yellow gold, but jewelers do recommend having your white gold jewelry re plated with rhodium once a year to maintain its best color and shine.

How to care for your white gold necklace:

Always keep your white gold necklace away from harsh chemicals, e.g. chlorine and cleaning fluids, this will help to reduce daily abrasions and prolong gold’s luster. Store your gold necklace in a soft cloth bag or in its original box. To clean, use a solution of warm water and detergent free soap and gently wash it with a soft-bristled brush. (An old toothbrush can work wonders).
