Today the jewelry market presents jewelry made of all precious metals and stones in the widest price range. Including you can buy brooches, chains, pendants and wedding rings made of white gold. What is this metal and what is the best way to wear it?

A little-known fact is that gold in its pure form for the production of jewelry is almost never used anywhere (except Japan). This is due to the metal's own physical properties: it is very soft and easily deformed. To give the necessary strength, additional additives, the so-called ligature, are introduced into its composition. And the final color of the gold jewelry depends on its components.

When you buy white gold wedding rings for future celebrations and daily wear, be sure to pay attention to the information on the tag. The fact is that this alloy is obtained by adding to gold mainlyplatinum, palladium or nickel. The latter gives the product an ignoble yellowish tint, and can also cause allergic reactions. As a result, jewelry made using nickel has practically fallen out of circulation in Europe.

It is quite rare to find wedding rings with white gold in stores, complemented by blue, green and even black gold (obtained by adding rubidium, indium, etc.). This is due to the fact that exotic shades of the precious metal are quite fragile, so only small elements are made from them. The chemical composition of some shades is unknown to a wide range of manufacturers, therefore, for example, products decorated with black-colored metal are quite expensive.

Which signs of the zodiac are suitable for wearing white gold? Wedding rings, photos of which are presented on the page, are not contraindicated for Cancers, Pisces and Scorpios, although these are typical water signs. And this is due to the fact that the metal is white. In addition, any gold (red, pink, etc.) as a solar metal can be constantly worn by representatives of the signs of Leo, Taurus and Aries.

White gold wedding rings are best purchased in well-known jewelry stores and never taken from hands. Be sure to pay attention to the presence of the assay mark and imprint of the manufacturer. The point is not so much the probability of buying a fake (and it is quite high), but the fact that metals, and precious ones in particular, remember information well, includingnegative, which can get into your newly formed family, for example, from stolen jewelry.

Today, white gold wedding rings are sold in 585 or 750 samples. These figures mean that 585 mg of gold proper falls on one gram of sample No. 585 metal, and about 23-28 mg of silver, 13-17 mg of palladium or nickel, 16 mg of copper and some zinc (8 mg) are also present in the alloy. Sample No. 750 can be produced in two versions of the ligature:

1. Silver (7-15mg), palladium (less than 14mg), nickel (up to 4mg), and zinc (up to 2.4mg).
2. Nickel (7-16.5 mg), copper (up to 15 mg) and zinc (2-5 mg).
