Why would a white gold ring from 2001 turn yellow after only six months yet another white gold ring from 1962 never changed color?

Your ring from 2001 is not all white gold, White gold is an alloy of gold. Mixed with either Nickel or Palladium. Nickel is hard and is used in rings where palladium is soft and used for gemstone settings, either way the real gold has been mixed with these to get the silver color obviously the older ring was alloy thru and thru and the newer one was just lightly plated with alloy. I personally dont like white gold, its not meant to be that color, but I shopped for jewelry for my wife recently and found very little yellow (actual color of gold). Karats determine the extent of the mixture 24 being pure and going down from there, to keep the gold color it is mixed with a similar colored metal to make it harder and retain the gold luster. You will find that 22 karat gold is much more expensive than 14 or 10 and wont be white but is softer and therefore must be worn with care. I just think about how much the gold has been diluted for it to lose its natural color. That is a very good answer, but I have a simple response to your last sentence. Several people have problems with sterling silver or regular metal, I'm talking about hwo some people are allergic to these metals. Some people do not like the looks of gold, as odd as it seems, and they choose to wear silver and yet they are allergic. So they buy white gold which has the effect of silver and does not infect their skin. Make any sense?
