White Gold Necklaces

Although showering with a white gold necklace won’t harm the metal itself, it may have an impact on its shine in the long run. Like all jewellery, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and remove it before taking a shower. 

By limiting contact with soaps, shampoos and other abrasive chemicals, you help preserve your white gold necklace’s beautiful lustre. You also decrease the likelihood of your necklace or other treasured pieces from slipping off.  

To keep your white gold necklace in good condition, store it in a cool, dry place like your jewellery box or in a cotton bag. Storing it away can help reduce its exposure to moisture, allowing your necklace to breathe. Learn more about caring for necklaces and other fine jewellery here.

Layering yellow and white gold necklaces together is very on-trend and creates a brilliant contrast between metals. Yellow gold also makes white gold jewellery appear much whiter and enhances its lustre, as well as providing a nice balance between pieces. 

You can always start with two necklaces, then continue to build from there. Contrast between different lengths and widths for added depth. You could even add a larger pendant as your centrepiece and surround it with a mix of smaller pendants to create a dazzling display.  

White gold diamond necklaces are especially good to use as a base for layering your necklaces. Pair with a beautiful chain to make it stand out, a yellow gold chain will give your diamond a timeless glow. Even other metals like rose gold can make a white gold necklace look classic and clean, while bringing out the warmer tones found in yellow gold. 

The great thing about yellow and white gold necklaces is their versatility. Whether you choose to layer them or wear them on their own is entirely up to you. Either way, you’re guaranteed to have a showstopping look.

With its mix of gold and other metals like zinc and copper, as well as its rhodium plating, white gold is highly durable and easy to maintain. If cared for properly and stored away carefully when not in use, white gold can last for years to come. 

To ensure your white gold necklace retains its shine at home, simply fill a bowl with warm water and add a few drops of mild dish soap. Leave your necklace to soak for several minutes in order to remove dirt and other impurities. 

Afterwards, pat your necklace dry with a soft cloth. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently clean residue from any awkward corners inside your necklace pendant. Make sure to avoid chemicals like bleach, chlorine or ammonia when cleaning your white gold necklace as they might damage its sheen.
