Nickel-Free White Gold Material Statement

To help clients make informed decisions, we provide full transparency regarding our nickel-free white gold materials, color characteristics, and finishing process.

All 9K, 10K, 14K, and 18K white gold jewelry we produce is nickel-free.
Depending on the gold purity and design requirements, we use palladium-based or other nickel-free alloy systems, rather than traditional nickel-containing formulations.

Natural Color of Nickel-Free White Gold

Unlike nickel-containing alloys, nickel-free white gold has a naturally warmer tone in its raw, unplated state.

This means:

  • Unplated white gold may appear slightly yellow

  • This applies across all purities, including 14K and 18K white gold

  • The color difference is a normal material property, not a defect

To achieve a bright white appearance, white gold must be rhodium-plated.

Semi-Mounting White Gold Orders

For semi-mounting white gold orders (mounting only, stone setting completed locally):

  • The mounting is delivered without final rhodium plating

  • The natural white gold color may appear warmer after setting

  • Local rhodium plating is required to achieve a bright white finish

If rhodium plating is not applied, visible color variation should be expected.

Finished White Gold Jewelry Recommendation

If you do not have access to professional rhodium plating, we recommend ordering fully finished nickel-free

white gold jewelry directly from us.

Before shipment, we apply:

  • An additional layer of high-quality white rhodium plating

  • Controlled surface finishing

  • Consistent white gold color results

This minimizes post-production issues and ensures the jewelry is ready for sale.
