Do white and rose gold count?

Yes, both count. White gold and rose gold are simply gold alloyed with other metals, white gold with metals like palladium or nickel, rose gold with copper, to change the colour. The gold inside is just as real and just as valuable.

Our XRF assay identifies the exact carat regardless of colour, so a 9ct white gold ring and a 9ct rose gold ring are valued on the same per-carat LBMA basis as yellow gold.

White gold and rose gold explained

White gold and rose gold are valued in exactly the same way as yellow gold, because the colour comes from the alloy, not the gold content. A 9ct or 18ct mark means the same percentage of pure gold whatever the shade. White gold is gold mixed with metals such as palladium or nickel and is often plated with rhodium for brightness; rose gold gets its warm tone from added copper.

Because the carat decides the value rather than the colour, your white or rose gold is worth the same per gram as yellow gold of the same carat. Our XRF assay reads the true gold content regardless of plating, so the offer reflects exactly what the piece contains.

FAQ

Find the answer to your questions and submit your request

Is white gold real gold?

Yes. White gold is gold alloyed with white metals and plated with rhodium for shine. We value it on its actual gold content.

Is rose gold worth the same as yellow gold?

For the same carat and weight, yes. The copper that gives rose gold its colour doesn't change the value of the gold content.

How do you tell the carat?

Our XRF assay measures the gold content precisely whatever the colour, so the valuation is accurate without relying on hallmarks.

Can I send mixed colours together?

Yes. Send white, rose and yellow gold together; we assay and weigh each and price it at the correct percentage of spot.
