White gold jewelry typically is made from a gold-palladium-silver alloy or gold-nickel-copper-zinc alloy. However, about one in eight people experiences a reaction to the nickel-containing alloy, usually in the form of a skin rash. Most European jewelry manufacturers and some American jewelry manufacturers avoid nickel white gold, since alloys made without nickel are less allergenic. The nickel alloy is most often encountered in older white gold jewelry and in some rings and pins, where the nickel produces a white gold that is strong enough to stand up to the wear and tear these pieces of jewelry experience.

Can you dip yellow gold rings into white gold?
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.
