White gold carries the same stamp as yellow gold: '14K,' '14KT,' or '585.' Color doesn't change the hallmark. The mark confirms the gold content. Know what to look for.
Elemental Detail
White gold achieves its color by alloying yellow gold with white metals, typically palladium or nickel, which neutralize gold's natural warm tone and produce the silvery-white alloy that fine jewelry has relied on for a century.
A Storied Heritage
A diamond's history as a gift material begins in India in the 4th century BCE: traded along ancient routes connecting South Asia to the Mediterranean before cutting techniques existed, the stone valued across cultures and centuries in forms so different from the modern brilliant that the continuity is in the material itself rather than how it has been shaped.
