White Gold Jewellery: What It Is and How It Wears
White gold is yellow gold alloyed with white metals such as palladium or silver, then usually finished with a thin layer of rhodium to give the bright, cool white people expect.
How to read the mark
Look for 375, 585 or 750, the same as any other gold of that carat. The mark is struck by an independent assay office, not by the maker, so it is the one part of a piece of jewellery you do not have to take on trust.
Living with it
The rhodium finish wears thin after a few years of daily wear and the warmer tone underneath starts to show. Re-plating is a routine job for a jeweller and brings it back to new.
Who it suits
It suits cool skin tones and sits well with diamonds and clear stones, which it makes look brighter.

How we make and mark it
Every piece here is made for ONLYWAY JEWELRY in London and, where the law requires it, hallmarked at the London Assay Office. The hallmark is not decoration: it is an independent test of the metal, struck by an assay office rather than by the maker. What the marks mean.
