If you mean that your white gold has become discoloured, this is what happens with general wear. White gold jewellery is usually finished with a rhodium plating to give the item its white look. This plating wears off with time but can easily be replaced by taking your jewellery to a reliable jewellers and asking them to re-rhodium the item.

By the way, my own wedding ring is 18ct yellow gold and, because white metal is currently fashionable but I don't wish to change my ring, I have had a rhodium plating applied to give a white look. It's lasting about 18 months to 2 years on average but this does depend on the wearer.
