What alloys are in yellow and white gold?

Gold can be alloyed with silver, copper, zinc, and nickel. Yellow gold is made by mixing pure gold with copper or zinc, rose gold is a mixture of pure gold and copper which creates the “reddish” color, and white gold is pure gold with a mixture of a white metal such as silver, nickel, or palladium. White gold rings are also often coated with Rhodium to make them look whiter.

Note - If you are shopping for someone that has a metal allergy you’ll want to stay with a Platinum setting.
