Which gold metal is most durable?

All gold types are durable, but white gold tends to be slightly harder due to its alloy mix. Rose gold is also very strong because of copper. Yellow gold is softer in higher karats (like 22K), so 14K or 18K is ideal for everyday wear.

Is rose gold hypoallergenic?

Rose gold contains copper, which can cause reactions in people with metal allergies. If you have sensitive skin, opt for 18K rose gold or consult with your jeweler for a hypoallergenic alloy.

How do I care for different gold types?

Use a mild soap and soft cloth for cleaning. For white gold, re-plating may be needed over time. Avoid harsh chemicals or wearing fine jewelry during workouts or household chores.

Will white gold tarnish or change color over time?

White gold is rhodium-plated, which gives it its bright finish. Over time, this coating may wear off and show a slightly warmer tone underneath. You can easily have it re-plated to restore its shine.
