White gold looks white because the alloy incorporates palladium to neutralize gold's yellow, producing a warmer off-white base metal. Rhodium plating over the surface delivers the bright white the alloy alone doesn't achieve.
A Notable Quality
A CZ stone cut to the same dimensions as a diamond will weigh approximately 70% more. It's a physical characteristic most people never encounter directly, but it's worth understanding. Carat weight comparisons between CZ and diamond don't translate directly to size comparisons because the materials have different densities.
