Why White Gold Equals Yellow Gold by Karat
White gold is made by alloying gold with nickel, palladium, or other metals that give a silvery color. The karat (14K, 18K) still measures the gold content. 14K means 58.5% gold whether the piece is white or yellow. Buyers and refiners pay based on the actual gold weight and purity—color does not change the melt value.
Rhodium Plating — Does It Add Value?
Many white gold pieces are rhodium-plated for a brighter finish. Rhodium wears off over time and must be reapplied. When selling, buyers value the underlying gold only. The plating adds no scrap value. Use the calculator with your piece's karat (often stamped 585 or 750) for an accurate estimate.
