What is white gold?
White gold is a precious alloy composed of pure yellow gold, to which a mixture of metals such as palladium and rhodium is added to obtain its characteristic silvery color. Unlike silver, white gold has the advantage of being resistant to oxidation, making it more durable and ideal for everyday wear.
White gold also has the advantage of retaining its unique lustre without the need for frequent treatment, while its rhodium finish makes it bright and luminous. This unique composition makes it possible to design jewelry with the elegant, polished appearance of silver, while bringing the longevity and value of gold. This makes white gold a popular option for refined pieces such as necklaces and wedding rings.

Accessorize your white gold necklace
Not sure how to accessorize your white gold necklace, or what jewelry to wear to complement it? The good news is that this material goes wonderfully well with silver, as well as yellow or rose gold, so you can match it to your heart's content.
For a harmonious look, pair it with white gold earrings and a white gold or silver bracelet.

If you want to create a more original look, you can choose to mix materials and wear yellow or rose gold jewelry with your white gold necklace. You can also play with layering, or simply choose a bracelet or ring in a different material, or set with a different stone. It's up to you to play with colors and materials to create a look that's uniquely yours.
Caring for your white gold jewelry
White gold is a durable material that won't oxidize, rust or blacken, so you can wear your jewelry for years without it fading. However, to preserve the brilliance of your white gold necklace, a few simple steps should be followed.
For example, we advise you to store your jewelry separately to avoid scratches, as white gold can be delicate in contact with other metals. Also, avoid exposing it to chemicals such as perfumes, creams and cleaning products, which can tarnish the metal and affect its shine.
To clean your necklace, a soft microfiber cloth is all you need to remove dust and fingerprints. Once a year, you can have your jewelry checked and serviced by a professional jeweler. To find out more, don't hesitate to ask for advice at a MATY jewelry store near you.
