The timeless beauty and elegance of gold have made it a popular choice for jewellery over the centuries, but choosing between white and yellow gold can be difficult. After all, the right choice can make a significant difference in how a piece of jewellery looks and feels. As jewellery experts, we'll share our experience to help you make the best decision for your style and preferences.
Colour
The colour of the metal is one of the most important factors to consider when choosing between white gold and yellow gold. White gold has a cool, silvery-white appearance, while yellow gold has a warm, golden hue. If you prefer a modern and versatile look, white gold may be the way to go. Our 18kt Diamond Snowflake Necklace is the epitome of luxurious and modern white gold style. However, if you want a more traditional or timeless style, yellow gold might be the perfect choice for you, much like our 9ct Snowflake Earrings.
Durability
Another factor to consider is the durability of the metal. Both white gold and yellow gold are durable, but white gold is often coated with rhodium to give it that bright white appearance. Over time, the rhodium plating may wear off and therefore is recommended to receive a required re-coating at least once a year. SnowJewel offers a re-rhodium service, please Contact Us to find out more. Yellow gold, on the other hand, doesn't require any coating and will maintain its colour over time.
Skin Tone
It's also important to consider your skin tone when choosing between white gold and yellow gold. White gold looks best on people with cooler skin tones, while yellow gold looks best on people with warmer skin tones. If you're not sure which category you fall into, a quick look at the veins on the inside of your wrist can give you a clue. If they appear blue, you probably have a cool skin tone, while green veins indicate a warm skin tone.
Occasion
The occasion is another essential factor to consider when choosing between white gold and yellow gold. White gold is often associated with formal events, such as weddings or black-tie events. Our Diamond Snowflake Necklace is the perfect accessory for any formal event all year round. While yellow gold is often worn for everyday occasions, such as our Diamond Snowflake Earrings.
Personal Style
At the end of the day, an important factor to consider is your personal style. Whether you prefer the modern look of white gold or the classic appeal of yellow gold, choose a piece that you love and suits your style.
