Gold although is not the most precious of the elements still it is considered precious and the one metal that has been known for ages as the choice for making jewelery items. Gold is the preferred choice of metal when you talk about making some jewelery. It is because it is the most ductile and malleable metals to exist. It is in fact so malleable, that translucent sheets can be drawn out of it.
Gold has also got some other unique properties like it non-corrosive nature which allows it to remains in its pure form for many years and this is why it is very easily extracted form gold mines.
White gold is an alloy of gold made by adding palladium or nickel as an impurity. Usually 18k or 14k gold is alloyed to make white gold. White gold is cheaper than pure gold due to less gold content. But working on white gold is difficult as it is very hard and brittle so making costs of white gold ornaments are usually higher.
Now a days it is more trendy to wear white gold jewelery as it is attractive to wear unlike the traditional yellow colored gold jewelery. White gold jewelery requires rhodium plating which is not quite expensive and gives the ornament a good finishing touch.
