About 18ct White Gold

Gold is still considered one of the rarest metals to date. Over a 5-year time span, the average annual demand has been 3,800 tonnes, whereas mines only produce 2,600 tonnes. It’s rarity however shines through, with a vivid metallic glow and endless design and style possibilities, gold remains the most traditional and symbolic token of commitment and affection as both his and hers wedding rings, with some of the highest demand rates across the globe.

18ct gold is 18 parts pure gold or 75% pure, (with the addition of a metal such as copper making up the remainder) and the stamp ‘750’ will be found inside pieces made from this alloy. White gold contains one or more white metals to lighten its colour and to add strength and durability. Rhodium plating is also generally used to create a highly reflective white surface, and with the Orla James Lifetime Guarantee you can have your ring re-plated for free. For those who are not so fond of clear metallic shine, rhodium plating is optional, so it is not a fundamental part of a white gold ring. The most common white metals that form the white gold alloy are nickel, palladium, platinum and manganese, and sometimes copper, zinc or silver might be added.

An 18ct white gold wedding ring does not deteriorate over time and they remain just as beautiful as they were on the day of purchase. This is why it's one of the best choices for wedding rings.
