A platinum ring would have more of a monetary value than white gold. Though this is a personal choice on which ring you get.
A guess: the white "gold" contains a considerable amount of silver
I assume you are asking this for one of two reasons. First, because you have a yellow gold ring that you would like to make into a white gold ring. The answer to that is, no, you really can't do that. Liquid gold is molten, meaning that it is heated to a high enough temperature that it melts. Dipping a ring into molten gold would make it melt, too. Maybe not completely melt down into a puddle, but you would certainly lose any detail in the ring's design. The second reason you might be asking is because you have a "white gold" ring that has a golden yellow core, like yellow gold that has been dipped into white gold. This, unfortunately, is merely a brass ring (the yellow part) that has been plated with a white metal, perhaps white gold, but more likely some kind of whitish silvery base metal.
I have a 9ct gold ring (with pink sapphires) which has this marking on it, it is made by Angus & Coote jewellers. **375 stamp means 9ct gold - 37.5% pure gold, or 375 parts per 1000. This can be stamped on white gold or yellow gold. 585 is 14ct gold, 750 is 18ct, and 1000 is 24ct or PURE GOLD. Guessing AC16 is Angus & Cootes stamp.
