I was looking at settings the other day in a local jeweley store and the sales woman mentioned that she really prefers polished white gold without rhodium plating, but she only had rings with rhodium in the store for me to see. I''m pretty positive that my boyfriend will purchase my engagement ring at Whiteflash, so I won''t be able to go and see the difference between polished white gold and white gold with rhodium plating. Does anyone have polished white gold without rhodium? What do you guys think about the differences between the two?

Thank you,
Kimberly

Hi Kimberly and welcome to Pricescope!!! This article on different metals should be helpful and it shows a few pictures! I like WG better but you can judge for your self w/the pics

Thank you Skippy! That article is very helpful and the pictures are great. Another question though - Is Whiteflash''s 18k white gold nickel white gold or palladium white gold? In the article it says that both of these white golds require rhodium plating, but then it shows a picture of palladium white gold with out rhodium. Also, is it common to have an allergy to white gold without rhodium plating?

Thanks so much!

Hi Kimberly, I don't know the answer to the questions on WF's rings but I would either call them up or send them and email with your question. Maybe Allison D w/WF will see this thread?
