White gold is not pure gold and is an alloy of gold and usually nickel, palladium or silver.  Typically white gold is plated with rhodium to make jewellery shinier and whiter in colour.  Rhodium is extremely reflective, very hard and does not tarnish.  Unfortunately rhodium plating does tend to wear over a period of time when it rubs against your hand or other fingers and must be placed.  The upside is that the re-plating process is inexpensive and the price will depend on the intricacy of the design of your wedding band.  Many jewellers offer a re-plating service.  White gold wedding rings are beautiful and are also very good value for money.  Even when you calculate the costs involved for re-plating a white gold wedding band is still a less expensive option than a platinum wedding ring.

Cleaning your white gold wedding ring is simple and you can do it at home.  The simplest way to clean your wedding band is to use a solution of ammonia and water, there are also ammonia based commercial jewellery cleaning solutions you can purchase.  If your white gold wedding ring has gems or pearls set into it, it is best to check with your jeweller before cleaning the ring with an ammonia solution.

One of the reasons couples choose white gold wedding bands is the variety of design and style options.  You could have anything from a simple plain band to an intricate braided ring.  You could even have your own wedding rings designed according to your own unique specification and create a truly distinctive wedding ring.  Another reason white gold wedding bands are popular is the price.  White gold wedding rings generally cost a lot less than an equivalent ring made from platinum. It is a great option if you are looking for a fresh beautiful wedding band without having to break the bank.
