Is there such thing as white gold?

I guess technically there is only yellow gold when thinking of gold in the pure form. Alloys are mixed with yellow gold to produce white gold. Jewelry manufacturers purchase bricks of yellow gold which are 24ct. 24ct is the highest carat you can cast gold in. Any higher of a carat and the gold is too soft. The 24ct gold is then melted and turned into tiny pebbles. These pebbles are mixed with different alloys just before being cast into the jewelry mold. White gold is created by mixing nickel with yellow gold. Rose gold is created by mixing copper with yellow gold.

Because white gold often contains more pure gold it is often valued higher.
