A white gold charm bracelet which carries bolt on or permanent decorative white gold charms, can signify important events in the wearer’s life, such as the birth of a child or a noteworthy birthday. Silver and white gold charm bracelets have been worn since prehistoric times; and the fashion has endured as more and more women discovered the beauty of gold and silver charm bracelets.

Charm bracelets have been the subject of several waves of trends: In ancient Egypt gold charms on bracelets were symbols of faith and luck and indentified an individual to the Gods in the Afterlife.

Silver charm bracelets were also worn in the dark ages to represent family origin, religious and political convictions. Queen Victoria wore gold charm bracelets that started a fashion among the European noble classes in the Nineteenth century. And in the 1950s and early 1960s, American teenagers collected silver and white gold charms for bracelets to record the events in their lives.

The fashion for white gold and silver charm bracelets diminished in the latter part of the 20th century, but there was a resurgence of popularity after 2000 when vintage gold charm bracelets became highly collectible. And following the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean” the height of fashion in winter 2006 were silver bracelets with little charms of swords, crosses and skulls!

There are two principal types of charm bracelets. These are the traditional style, in which the gold or silver charms dangle enticingly from the links of the silver or gold chain, and the ‘Italian’ gold charm bracelet in which the flat charms are interspersed between, and integral to, the links of the gold or silver chain.

Some women may collect gold and silver charms to solder or bolt onto a charm bracelet simply because they enjoy the attractive jangling sound they make on the wrist. However, women have collected silver and gold charms for charm bracelets for centuries because individual charms on the bracelet are personal, often and associated with life events.

For this reason, a 14k white gold charm bracelet can be purchased without the charms, ready for you to attach your own charms to any of the links on the gold bracelet to create a personalized piece of fine jewelry that portrays your own interests, style and personalit. For many, the completed 14k white gold charm bracelet is like wearing a life-story on the wrist.

Many gold and silver charm bracelets are passed down from mother to daughter as coming of age, or as family heirloom pieces. Sterling silver charm bracelets are stronger and more affordable than gold charm bracelets. However, white gold charm bracelets are ever popular and are often easier to find. For this reason we are pleased to offer our choice of silver charm bracelets as well as gold charm bracelets.

As any lover of white metals will tell you, silver jewelry has a beautiful lustre but is sometimes considered to be the “poor relative” of the precious metals. Platinum jewelry has lifelong durability but is very expensive and has a duller appearance. And white gold jewelry has the best of both worlds because it has a luxurious cache, a deep shine and all without the exorbitant price tag.

Because of this, rings made from 14k and 18k white gold are becoming increasingly popular. In fact, white gold engagement rings are highly sought after because the color of the metal blends so beautifully with fine diamonds. White gold settings can be used for solitaire rings, in which the white gold may also form an intricate part of the styling. And white gold can be used in cluster rings or white gold trilogy rings to stunning effect.

Because white gold is a neutral ring setting, it can be used in a white gold ring to show off just about any gemstone to its absolute best. This is especially true when the gemstone itself is highly colored, or displays a range of color plays, such as a high quality opal or opal doublet. Because the play of colors in these gemstones changes according to their orientation it is essential that the setting is one which will not clash with the gemstone at all. For this reason, white gold is perfect for crafting these rings!

The 14k and 18k white gold rings in this selection are all artisan crafted for that glorious unique feel. If you are, or a loved one is, the type of white gold jewelry lover who also demands something a little bit different, choose a white gold ring today. Many of these rings are currently at special sale prices. Click on the images for more details and for other white gold ring options.

White gold jewelry (jewellery) has long been a “hot trend” in the fashion industry. It combines the luxury of solid gold with the white tones of silver. Because of this, white gold jewerly has become very popular amongst people with cool skin tones who do not suit yellow gold jewelry as well as with those people who just prefer the look of white metal jewelry.

White gold jewelry is made from white gold, which is still real gold!  Because gold metal is quite a soft metal it cannot be used to make fine jewelry just as it is.  Instead it needs to be alloyed with other metals and it is the color and proportions of the metal alloy which determines the different gold colors.  In white gold jewelry, the gold is alloyed with a white metal, such as silver.  This is why white gold jewelry has a  beautiful reflective white shine and luxurious texture.  

The percentage of alloy to gold dictates the resultant quality of the gold.  For example, 18k white gold jewelry is 75% pure gold because it contains 18 parts in 24 of pure gold and 6 parts in 24 of the white metal alloy.  14k white gold jewelry is 58.5% pure gold, containing 14 parts out of 24 of pure gold and 10 parts our of 24 of white metal alloy.

In certain cases, typically where the proportion of white metal alloy is relatively low and the proportion of pure yellow gold relatively high, as in higher grade 18k and 22k gold jewelry, the whiteness of the gold jewelry may not be as white as required.  In this case, white gold jewelry pieces may be rhodium plated to enhance the white appearance.  Rhodium plating is expensive and is only applied to the very finest jewelry pieces, such as white gold engagement rings and eternity rings and white gold wedding bands. 

White gold jewelry must be cleaned gently so as not to disturb any rhodium plating, but with wear may still yellow as the plating wears off.  If this happens, your white gold jewerly may need to be replated, which can be simply undertaken by any reputable jeweler.  So buy now with confidence.  Click on the images above for more details of specific pieces and enjoy wearing fine white gold jewelry!

Standard white gold hoop earrings fasten directly into the back of the hoop itself by some means of friction fastening, such as a groove. These are trickier to fasten than simple sleeper hoops. However, spring hoops form complete circles and stay in place by means of spring force. These white gold hoop earrings tend to be lighter styles and are rarely set with precious gemstones because the fastening is less secure.

In contrast, white gold huggy earrings, or cuff earrings, are wide hinged hoops. In the huggy style, the earring passes through the ear by means of a post, and they hinge closed to form a circle, which closely envelopes the earlobe. Huggy earrings are often made from precious metals such as white gold and platinum and are often set with diamonds and other gemstones.

Open hoop designs (half hoops) do not complete a circle and are fastened by means of use posts secured in the same manner as stud earrings.
