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.

White gold is created by mixing nickel with yellow gold. Rose gold is created by mixing copper with yellow gold.
