Are white gold rings expensive?

White gold is one of the most beautiful, affordable precious metals out there! Much more affordable than platinum or palladium, and white gold is a great choice for your ring. And, white gold stays shiny longer than platinum or palladium (which develop a vintage patina)! While white gold requires a rhodium dip every so often to keep its bright white color, Do Amore offers free rhodium as part of its lifetime warranty! So, you can be confident that your ring will always sparkle and shine, without additional upkeep costs.

Hot tip: “Naked” white gold – white gold without rhodium – is also a growing trend. 🙂

Both metals offer a similar silvery tone, but they differ in feel and maintenance. Platinum is denser and develops a soft patina over time, giving it a subtle antique character. White gold is lighter on the hand and maintains a crisp shine, though it may require occasional re-plating to refresh its finish. If you prefer a bright, clean look with a slightly lighter feel, white gold is often the go-to.
White gold pairs effortlessly with a wide range of designs. Hidden halos and pavé bands appear seamless and luminous, while solitaires feel sleek and contemporary. Vintage-inspired details also benefit from the metal’s brightness, which highlights milgrain and engraving without overwhelming the center stone.
