White Gold Earrings

If you are obsessed with fashion, specifically with properly accessorizing your wardrobe with your jewellery, then you know it is not possible to have too many gold earrings. Just the right earrings can complete any look you may be going for, whether it is for a casual day out and about or an elegant evening on the town. Beautiful sparkling earrings can frame your face and catch the eye of men as well as other women.

White gold jewellery, especially earrings, is fast overcoming yellow gold in popularity, not only among jewellery designers but also among the consumer. When it comes to the more contemporary designs, white gold earrings are becoming more common than traditional yellow gold. While nothing sparkles and shines quite the same way that gold does, many people are opting for that same amount of shine and sparkle but without the gold colour. White gold provides a more subtle touch to an elegant pair of earrings.

White gold is produced by making an alloy of gold combined with nickel, iridium, or palladium. The combination results in a different gleam and shine that yellow gold does not have. White gold has all of the same properties of yellow gold and can be found in 9, 10, 15, 18, or 22-carat. Frequently, white gold that is used to make earrings and all varieties of jewellery is also plated with another metal that is even whiter than the finished alloy. This metal plating is done with rhodium, which is in the platinum family. The rhodium enhances the appearance of the earrings.

White gold adds to the look of white diamonds as well as many other different coloured gemstones when set in either the classic studs or in flashier, multi-stoned styles. Blue sapphires are a wonderful example of another gemstone that is best complemented by white gold.

Shiny, dangling white gold chandelier earrings can really show off the qualities of white gold. Chandelier earrings can be anywhere from 2.5 to 3.8 centimetres long and can’t help but catch the eye. There is nothing like classic white gold hoops to make your look complete for daytime or night time. For many women, when it comes to hoop earrings they have one thought – the bigger, the better. Large hoops can be designed with intricate designs that draw attention. Smaller solid hoops, while eye-catching, are subtler and are perfect accent pieces for business attire.

Finding the right pair of white gold earrings can be difficult because no single pair will do. With the variety of shapes, sizes, and designs the only solution is to add a variety of styles to your jewellery collection.
