What Is White Gold?
White gold is an alloy of gold and other metals that give it a paler colour. It is different from silver and platinum, although finished jewellery can look similar. Therefore, appearance alone cannot identify the metal or its purity.
Many white gold pieces also have a rhodium coating to create a bright white finish. The GIA guide to jewellery gold colours explains the alloys and finishes.
Before you sell white gold, check any readable marks and gather the information you have about the item. However, do not guess the carat from its colour. Our assessment establishes the gold content used in your offer.
Sell White Gold Jewellery in Different Conditions
You can send wearable, unwanted or damaged pieces for assessment. For example, a broken clasp or bent setting does not remove the gold from the remaining jewellery. You do not need to arrange repairs before requesting a valuation.
- Wedding bands and other white gold rings
- Chains, necklaces, pendants and bracelets
- Single earrings and incomplete jewellery sets
- Broken pieces and suitable gold components
If your collection contains several types of jewellery, keep a simple list. Also, tell us about stones, unusual construction or any information from a previous valuation. Our jewellery selling guide explains the wider service.

What Affects the Price When You Sell White Gold?
The offer depends on the assessed gold weight, purity and applicable buying rate. For example, equal weights of 9ct and 18ct white gold contain different amounts of pure gold. Consequently, they need different rates in a valuation.
The white colour alone does not establish a higher gold value than yellow or rose gold. Instead, compare the gold content and the basis of the offer. Retail prices can include design, workmanship and other costs that differ from metal value.
Use our gold price calculator for an initial estimate. Then, compare the result with the assessed weight and purity. However, an online calculation cannot authenticate your jewellery or guarantee the final payment.
Understanding Hallmarks and Rhodium Plating
Before you sell white gold, look for marks inside rings or near clasps. Common fineness marks include 375 for 9ct and 750 for 18ct. These refer to the gold proportion in the alloy, rather than the colour of its surface.
A rhodium coating can wear over time and reveal a warmer underlying tone. Therefore, a change in colour does not by itself mean that the piece contains no gold. Likewise, a bright white finish does not confirm authenticity.
You do not need to pay for replating before requesting a metal-based valuation. Also, avoid scratching or filing an item to investigate its surface. If a mark is unclear or the finish concerns you, ask us about professional assessment.
Sell White Gold with Diamonds or Other Stones
Stone-set jewellery needs a careful weight assessment. Diamonds and other stones contribute to the total weight, but they do not count as gold. Similarly, non-gold fittings or components should not automatically receive the gold rate.
As a result, the payable gold weight may differ from the weight shown on your home scales. Ask how the assessment treats stones and whether any separate valuation applies. Do not assume that a gold calculator includes a gemstone’s value.
Before you send a valuable stone-set piece, contact our team to discuss the assessment and stone handling. Leave the stones in place until you understand the proposed process. Avoid dismantling jewellery simply to weigh the metal.
How We Assess Your Jewellery
When you sell white gold to us, we examine the items and assess their weight and precious-metal content. We also review the information you provide about marks or previous valuations. Then, we explain the proposed payment.
Our gold testing information describes assessment methods. The appropriate checks depend on the item and its construction. Therefore, ask what the process involves if you want to preserve a particular finish or setting.
If you suspect antique, designer or collector value, consider a specialist jewellery valuation before accepting a metal-based offer. Also, keep original boxes, receipts and certificates. These may help establish details that a simple gold calculation cannot capture.
Preparing to Sell White Gold by Post
First, make a list of the pieces you intend to send. Next, photograph the collection for your records and set aside anything you would prefer to keep. Include loose parts that belong to broken jewellery.
Keep different carats separate if you can identify them. However, do not guess at unclear marks. Protect individual pieces from rubbing against one another and follow the packaging instructions supplied with your pack.
Finally, include the requested contact details and check the contents before sealing the parcel. If you also have damaged yellow or rose gold, our guide to unwanted and broken gold explains the relevant considerations.
Immediate Payment After Acceptance
Once you accept our offer to sell white gold, we make an immediate payment by bank transfer. First, confirm the bank details needed to send your money to the correct account. Ask any valuation questions before agreeing to proceed.
Alternatively, if you decline the offer, we return your jewellery free of charge through our insured delivery service. Requesting a pack does not oblige you to sell, so you can review the valuation before making your decision.
