What is a white gold ring made of?

Gold alloyed with white metals such as palladium or nickel, usually plated with rhodium for a bright white finish. Vintage white gold is most often 18KT or 14KT.

Are white gold rings rhodium plated?

Most are. The plating gives a bright white surface and wears gradually; a jeweller can replate a ring quickly when it starts to look creamy.

What stamp is on a white gold ring?

A gold purity mark: 375 (9KT), 585 (14KT) or 750 (18KT), often with "W" or "WG" on foreign rings. British rings also carry an assay office mark and, until 1999, a date letter.

Why is my white gold ring going yellow?

The rhodium plating has worn and the natural colour of the alloy is showing. Replating restores the white finish.
