White Gold Wedding Bands

When you are going to buy gold wedding bands, you have got several decisions to make. Color is the first one. Day by day, white gold wedding bands are being chosen over the traditional gold ones.

White gold wedding bands are more durable than other gold bands. White gold looks like silver. So if you like the color silver, you might prefer white gold. It is alloyed with a large percentage of silver, or other white metals. Almost all white gold is plated with rhodium - a shiny, white metal.

The quantity of gold and other metals mixed together determine the extent of white gold’s quality. Thus, 24k, 18k, and 14k contain a different quality with a different amount of gold. Let us find out the best one.

• 100% Gold is contained in 24k. A gold wedding band consisting of 24k gold is very soft that can be shaped and bent easily. It contains pure gold and so is very expensive.



• 14k white gold bands are very strong. The 14k gold contains 41.67% other metal with 58.3% gold. The 14k gold, being mixed with other hard metals in large amount, is a hard one and has a better chance to last longer. If you are the one not to put off your gold even during your working time, then, obviously, you would be wise to prefer a 14k Gold. The problem of the 14k gold is that the color of it can fade occasionally. You can find 14k white gold wedding bands with low cost.



• 18k white gold wedding bands are very popular. 18k gold must contain 75% pure gold and 25% alloy. But if you are to do heavy work in your daily life then you are recommended to think of 18k Gold. These kinds of wedding bands are good for health.

In short, white gold wedding bands are good for health, because white gold is plated with Rhodium, a hypo-allergenic metal. To enrich the beauty of the wedding bands you can have it encrusted with diamonds all the way around the band.
