18-carat white gold rings

Timeless white gold captivates with its discreet elegance and lustre. Highly prized in women's jewellery, it showcases precious stones and the clean lines of contemporary designs equally well. Whether it's a simple band, a ring set with stones or a more daring design, a white gold ring always combines modernity and refinement.

At Gemme, each piece of jewellery is restored, inspected and certified by our experts before being offered for sale. We breathe new life into unique pieces, crafted in 18-carat gold and often embellished with diamonds, sapphires or rubies. Our selection includes classic and original designs to suit all styles and budgets. You will also find a wide range of second-hand rings, combining elegance and responsibility!

White gold: elegance, symbolism and jewellery expertise

The subtle colour of an 18-carat white gold ring is achieved through an alloy of pure gold and white metals such as palladium. This light shade, often enhanced with rhodium, gives the jewellery a highly sought-after luminous appearance. White gold is now considered a noble and versatile metal: it harmonises with all skin tones and enhances both colourless stones and coloured gems.

Often chosen as an engagement ring, the white gold ring symbolises purity, modernity and lasting commitment. The models offered by Gemme, sourced from the repurchase, melting down or restoration of antique jewellery, retain these qualities while embodying a form of responsible luxury. In our collections, you will find white gold rings for women with delicate lines, as well as many original white gold rings, including vibrant ruby rings.

Since 1985, Bijouteries Gemme has distinguished itself through its mastery of second-hand jewellery and its gemmological expertise. Each white gold ring for women is meticulously examined in our workshops: we check the purity of the alloy, the quality of the settings and the brilliance of the stones. Worn elements are reforged, rings are polished, and gems are cleaned or replaced if necessary.

Our creations bring together a variety of influences, from antique jewellery with an Art Deco aesthetic to more contemporary designs.

Is white gold worth more than gold?

The value of the gold in an 18-karat white gold ring is the same as that of the gold used in a yellow gold ring of the same carat weight. It fluctuates depending on the price of fine gold.

What does a white gold ring mean?

White gold is an alloy of fine gold with metals such as palladium, silver, or copper, whose karat weight determines the proportion of gold (e.g., 18 karat = 75% fine gold). A white gold ring can be plated with rhodium or platinum to enhance its whiteness.

Why choose a white gold ring?

White gold enhances all precious stones, semi-precious stones, and pearls thanks to its neutral color. Its high strength and hardness make it an ideal metal for engagement rings or wedding bands, easy to wear every day and compatible with all styles.

Why do we say that white gold develops a patina?

Over time and with friction, the rhodium coating on white gold rings fades, revealing a more matte or slightly grayed metal. This normal and inevitable phenomenon does not affect the quality of the gold. Regular maintenance can delay patina or restore shine and luster to your ring.

Which metal should I choose between white gold and platinum?

Although similar in appearance, 18-karat white gold and 950 platinum are distinct metals: white gold requires maintenance to maintain its color, while platinum, denser and naturally white, remains stable and hypoallergenic. Both are ideal for engagement rings, wedding bands, and everyday jewelry.
