yes any ring of gold or jewelry can be melted and make it into any other item of gold however is not recommended because you can get porous on the piece the rite way is make it from new gold,what you are doing is getting what we called scrap metal and make something new.
You can't change "yellow" gold to white gold. White gold is an alloy of gold that contains gold and another metal, often nickel, platinum or palladium. To make white gold, you have to first melt down gold, melt down your other metal and mix them in an alloy.
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.
The yellow gold dipped with Rhodium plated it is not white gold ... It is alloys of yellow gold with Rhodium plated... Only "Pure Solid White Gold formula" it is the real white gold inside and outside white; Life time guaranties!
If you mix it with 50% silver you'll get electrum which is a natural alloy of gold. This is not white gold as it has a yellow tinge and would need constant rhodium plating. There are several combinations to make white gold some include zinc,nickel and silver depending on the carat-age of the gold you want. The best combination to make white gold is: For 18ct white gold- 75% gold and 25% palladium For 9ct white gold- 37.5% gold and 62.5 palladium Palladium is a high density transition metal of the platinum group. Not quite as dense as platinum, palladium is by far the best metal to use to make a white gold alloy.It has a high white luster and is relatively cheap compared to gold. The only major problem with palladium is the high melting temperature which is around 1700 degrees celsius this, when alloyed with gold (1063 degrees) will bring the total temp around 1400 degrees celsius. In my opinion there simply should not be a white gold as palladium is cheap and much whiter than white gold which means you can avoid constant rhodium plating.
The code for white gold is typically a combination of the chemical elements that make up the alloy, such as gold, nickel, silver, and palladium. Different manufacturers may have their own specific codes for white gold alloys.
Upon their arrival to the camps, the Nazis took all gold from the Jews, including golden teeth. The dental gold was melted down to make new teeth.
When melted together, the metal is called electrum.

By adding gold or copper and selenium compounds to melted glass.
the incas used to get gold from mines that they dug and then they melted it to make into jewlary sorry for the spelling!
It depends on if the coins are silver or clad and the denominations.
The withdrawn Australian 1 and 2 cent coins were melted down to make the Bronze medals for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
Gold can be melted, though to make gold thread it is drawn out or extruded through dies (small holes) to create wires. . Gold is a very ductile metal which means is can be beaten very thin or drawn out very finely. At times extrusion and drawing are used together, an extrusion to create an over sized wire and then thinning the wire down to the final size by drawing it through dies.

It can be melted down and put into molds to make silverware and jewelry.
yellow and white
Its the fat in the butter rising to the top when the butter is melted, when I bake i scoop the fat from the top just to make my cake a little less fatty. :)
