White Gold Star Diamond Earrings
If you will take a look around jewelry store displays today, you will notice that no longer are their gold pieces solely yellow gold. There is a proliferation of pinkish gold, green and even white gold. But are these colored gold jewelry pieces real? The answer is yes. Generally, pure gold is much too soft to use for making jewelry. That is why most gold jewelry are actually alloys—meaning they are a combination of pure gold with other metals.

Pure gold is graded as twenty-four karats. The number of karats indicates the amount of pure gold that the piece of jewelry contains. Therefore, it also follows that if you have an eighteen karat gold piece, that means it is made out of eighteen parts pure gold and six parts of another metal, or seventy-five percent gold.
The most popular kind of gold alloys today are the white gold kind. But way back in the twenties, white gold was already popular. It was used as a substitute for the more expensive platinum jewelry. To make white gold, goldsmiths mix pure gold with either nickel or palladium, to lend the gold a white sheen.
Nickel is the most commonly used gold alloy because it is reasonably priced and is the most similar to platinum in color. The downside however with using nickel as a gold alloy is that most people are allergic to this metal. They complain of breaking out in rashes or allergies. Hence the popularity of another gold alloy, palladium.
Palladium is also similar to platinum in looks, when it is combined with pure gold. The only downside to using palladium is that it is also quite expensive. But for those who are allergic to nickel, they have no choice but to use white gold made from palladium alloys.
Jewelers also use silver, platinum, chromium, cobalt, tin, zinc and indium to create white gold alloys. However, they do not have the same effect in terms of bleaching, as say nickel and palladium.
So how do you use white gold jewelry? The possibilities are infinite! Just like yellow gold, it can be used in necklaces, earrings, rings, brooches, pins, and the like. They can be set with precious stones, gems and diamonds. Many individuals love using white gold with diamonds because they believe that it complements the diamond crystals the most.
Also, white gold and diamond combinations lend an air of sophistication as it is subtle and elegant. When compared to yellow gold and diamond combinations, the white gold and diamond combinations are often preferred by modern individuals because of the tendency of the yellow gold to look too tacky.
The best thing about white gold and diamond combinations is that you can play around with the shape and style of your jewelry, because both white gold and diamonds are considered “neutrals”, and therefore go with almost anything and everything. A great playful idea would be to wear white gold diamond earrings that are star shaped. They are playful and fun, without looking cheap or trashy.
Again, the possibilities are endless when it comes to white gold and diamond combinations. You just have to find the right inspiration and you will be on a roll!
