Can You Turn White Gold Into Yellow Gold?

Hello, jewelry enthusiasts! Today, we're diving into a sparkling topic that often piques the curiosity of many: Can you turn white gold into yellow gold? Here at Pineforest Jewelry, where we blend expertise with a touch of magic, we love exploring such fascinating questions. Let's embark on this glittering journey together!

Understanding the Lustrous Duo: White Gold and Yellow Gold

First, let's get acquainted with our stars - white gold and yellow gold. White gold, known for its sleek and modern look, combines pure gold and durable alloys like nickel or palladium, often plated with rhodium for that extra shine. 


On the other hand, yellow gold, the classic beauty, is a blend of pure gold with alloys like copper and zinc, giving it that warm, traditional glow.


At Pineforest Jewelry, from exquisite engagement rings to stunning fashion pieces, we celebrate the diversity of these precious metals. And it's not just about selling jewelry; it's about crafting stories and experiences, just like the unique journey of our founders, Jim and Linda Mills.

The Alchemy of Transformation: White to Yellow

So, can white gold take a golden turn into yellow? Yes, it's possible, but it's quite a craft! The process involves removing the rhodium plating from white gold and then adding layers of yellow gold or mixing it with yellow gold alloys. It's a delicate balance, requiring the skilled hands of a jeweler.


At Pineforest Jewelry, where custom design and jewelry repair are our forte, we understand the nuances of such transformations. Our expert consultations, part of the "Ask Diamond Jim" series, are perfect for those looking to give their white gold pieces a golden makeover.

Weighing the Pros and Cons

While the allure of transforming your jewelry is tempting, consider the pros and cons. On the upside, it's a fantastic way to personalize your piece. However, it can be costly, and there's always a risk of affecting the metal's integrity.
