Silver gold is another amalgam, with a different name. White gold is called that to differentiate it from yellow gold. Yellow gold isn't yellow, but it's a way of describing and differentiating one from the other.

White gold refers to an alloy of gold and different white metals consisting of silver, palladium, or nickel.

Palladium and silver alloys are greater effective high quality than nickel and are sometimes no longer lined with rhodium. the point of plating is to function lustre to greyer earrings, as nicely as to sidestep oxidation of a few of the metals got here across interior the alloys. White gold is usually used as a greater value-effective option to platinum. It became into first stepped forward interior the Twenties.

"White gold is an alloy of gold and at least one white metal, such as silver or palladium. "
White gold rings are frequently coated with rhodium. Rhodium is similar to platinum and shares many of its properties, including its white color. because the natural color of white gold is light grey, rhodium plating makes white gold whiter.-

There is no such thing as white gold!
There are however gold alloys which appear white, silvery, or grey.
When jewellers speak of white gold, they mean white gold alloys. In most other major languages these alloys are described as grey rather than white. We will stick to "white".
White gold alloys (nickel, zinc, or palladium with gold ) became fashionable in the 1920's, mainly as a substitute for platinum.
