White gold is yellow gold that is mixed with other metals and yellow gold is made in the same way, and the difference is only in the metals used. In order to make the gold white, it is combined with metal alloys that are white in nature and plated with an extremely hard element called rhodium. Platinum, on the other hand, is a white metal and is used in jewelry in its pure form. It is Platinum white, so it does not need to be rhodium plated like white gold does.
