At Prouds we mainly carry yellow gold with items available in Rose Gold, White Gold and a combination of the three colours together. Different colour gold is made up with different mix of alloys used to produce gold for e.g. by using more of the alloy copper this produces rose gold and white is produced by using more of the alloy silver.

In Australia, white and rose colour gold is becoming increasingly popular.White gold jewellery first became popular in the 1920s as an alternative to platinum jewellery. Over the past few years, white gold has become more and more fashionable. White gold is made by mixing pure gold with other metals, such as silver and palladium, in the alloying process. The white gold you see in jewellery is actually an off-white gold alloy.

Most white gold items are enhanced with rhodium plating, giving a highly reflective white surface. Over time, this surface may experience some loss of brightness. This is perfectly normal, especially with rings that receive more wear and tear.

At Prouds we sell 9ct & 18ct White gold Nickel-free.
