Why is my white gold ring starting to turn yellow in color?

The yellow you are seeing on your ring is a completely normal condition that is inherent with the daily wear of white gold jewelry. To achieve its white color, pure gold is often mixed with zinc, palladium, or nickel alloys. White gold jewelry is also dipped in rhodium, giving it a brilliant, chrome-like color, while also protecting it from scratching. However, to maintain this white luster, white gold should be “re-dipped” when needed – a simple upkeep.

For this exact reason, every VRAI engagement ring comes with Our Lifetime Care Package, which includes an Annual Shine! To keep your VRAI engagement ring and wedding band shiny and secure, you're able to return your ring to us once a year for a comprehensive cleaning, which includes a deep cleaning, polishing, prong inspection, and re-dipping for white gold. If you would like to move forward with this service, please reach out to our team at hello@vrai.com for assistance!
