White Gold Rings

If you want to keep your white gold rings lustrous and beautiful, we recommend bringing them to Michael Hill for a professional clean; which is key to preserving your ring’s shine while also protecting its rhodium plating. 

High quality white gold rings are generally finished with rhodium plating to help maintain their beautiful shine. Although rhodium plating is durable, it’s best to keep white gold rings away from harsh chemicals to ensure they maintain their lustrous finish. For tips on cleaning white gold rings, white gold diamond rings, and other fine jewellery, view our gold jewellery care guide here. 

You can further protect your white gold diamond ring with a Michael Hill professional care plan.

Rings in white gold are created from a mixture of gold and other metals, like copper and zinc, and have a slightly warmer colour. Its rhodium plating makes white gold durable—ideal for everyday wear—while giving it a beautiful lustre and enhancing the white hue.

Platinum, on the other hand, is a different metal entirely to white gold. It is naturally a silver-toned, durable metal that is bright and lustrous. 

Platinum and white gold women’s rings are both beautiful options, especially when paired with diamonds.

White gold is a durable option for a ring and is one of the most-loved options for diamond engagement rings and wedding rings that are worn daily. It’s still important to care for your white gold ring properly, and clean it now and then to avoid a build-up of grime or products. Over time, your white gold ring may require rhodium re-plating to restore its bright white hue and lustre. 

Sapphire rings in white gold look particularly elegant, helping to provide a touch of class to any outfit. Emerald rings in white gold, on the other hand, have a glamorous, vintage-inspired feel, especially when surrounded by diamonds or in its namesake cut.
