White gold can cost a little more than yellow gold but not prohibitively so.
In general, yellow gold is more expensive than white gold because it contains a higher percentage of pure gold, making it more valuable. White gold is typically alloyed with other metals such as palladium or nickel to achieve its color, which can make it less costly.
White gold is an alloy of gold and at least one white metal, usually nickel or palladium. Like yellow gold, the purity of white gold is given in carats: 24 kt is pure gold, 18 kt has 18 parts gold and 6 parts of another metal, so it is 75% pure.Since nickel is cheaper than gold this white (alloy) gold is cheaper than the yellow pure variant. The price of palladium is unknown to me, so I can't figure it out.
The price difference between white gold and yellow gold typically comes down to the alloys used in each. White gold often contains more expensive metals such as palladium or platinum, making it slightly more costly than yellow gold, which is often alloyed with less expensive metals like copper and zinc. Ultimately, the price difference can vary depending on market prices and any additional factors such as craftsmanship or design.
White gold is an alloy made by mixing gold with white metals like nickel or palladium, giving it a silver appearance. Platinum, on the other hand, is a naturally white metal that is denser and more durable than white gold. Platinum is also more rare and therefore more expensive than white gold.
No. White gold and yellow gold have the same amount of gold/value in them, but white gold is made with nickel and few other properties which turn it white. Some white gold jewelry is slightly more expensive because most of it has a rhodium coating (which gives it that shiny bright white look) and that cost is factored in.
There are two types of gold as far as I know white gold is white and more rare so more expensive and then gold which is more common in all types even paint...

both are same but yellow mettal is more famous and has more resale value
Platinum is more expensive than gold. It is a naturally white metal, is more durable and dense and quite rare, it does not require rhodium plating to keep it white. When a piece of jewelry is being made, in the case of platinum 85% – 95% is used.
No, it is not the same, as platinum and white gold are two very different metals. However, the biggest difference would be the price as platinum is more expensive than white gold. Platinum is a naturally white metal, is more durable and dense whereas white gold is not. White gold has a high maintenance cost also as it requires rhodium plating to keep it white. When it comes down to buying a platinum or white gold wedding ring, it all depends on your budget and what you can afford.

Platinum, is a naturally white metal, is more durable and dense and quite rare, it does not require rhodium plating to keep it white. White gold is often used when platinum proves to be too expensive. White gold contains varying amounts of gold, which is always yellow as well white metals to lighten its color and add strength and durability. Yellow gold on the other hand is a mixture of pure gold and alloys of copper and zinc. However, white gold will be more expensive over time as it will need to be replated with rhodium.

Sometimes, but the price difference largely depends on the karat amount.
