pleasant surprise and a gold question

[ojm bc]

Hi..I was cleaning up a few of last year's finds,,I just noticed that this ring is faintly marked 10k..It always was a odd looking silver ring,do you know if 10k in white gold is tested the same way as the regular gold colour.


thanks hh oj

10k is10k isn't it? Measures percentage of gold I believe

Yeah it should test out pretty much the same.. If it's marked 10 KT then it's white gold. Quite a unique ring.

White gold is usually achieved by alloying gold with nickel, Silver, palladium (or platinum in some older rings). Usually there is no copper as in yellow or rose gold jewellery. This how the "white" effect is achieved. If yours is an older ring, it could have platinum alloyed with the gold.
