Yellow or white...?

Mrs.Greg · March 2014

Do you like yellow gold? Or silver/white gold/platinum?

I've never liked yellow gold. Even at 17 when my mom insisted I needed a class ring before graduating, I got it in white gold.

How about you?

I've always preferred white gold/platinum. Yellow gold seems to be coming back though.

I don't like yellow gold either. All my jewelry is white gold and platinum.

At one time I would have said only white. But now that I am older, I say it depends on the piece. Some pieces look better in yellow, others look better in white.

White gold. Yellow gold looks terrible with my skin tone, plus I just don't like it.

This exactly.

Definitely platinum. I like the look of white gold and some of my earlier jewelry is white gold but I had a problem with my rings. They kept turning back to yellow. I don't know if I have a higher chemical seething or what but it would drive me crazy. The kept having to redip it. My DH's wedding band is white gold and he has never had any issue.

I prefer white. Dh is a jeweller and says yellow gold is definitely making a comeback!

Mrs.Greg · March 2014

Funny that two of you said yellow gold is making a comeback. It's always totally seemed old school to me. Like only old ladies wore yellow gold. Haha!

I'm the odd one, I guess. I like yellow gold.

This is me.
My wedding ring is yellow gold and platinum and I really love it. I was never a gold person until I met DH. He is NA and gold looks good on him.

I like both, depends on the set. I wanted yellow gold for my wedding set, so that's what I have for that.

Disneygeek77 · March 2014

I prefer yellow gold.

White gold for sure... yellow seems dated to me, just like white will seem dated to our kids I'm sure, haha.

Funny you say that. My mom's ring was white gold and when I was a kid I thought she had a silver ring until she explained it was white gold. I remember thinking " Meh, that doesn't look like gold."

MomIn2013 · March 2014

I absolutely prefer yellow gold, wouldn't even consider the others. Always have.

myatala · March 2014

Depends on the piece for me. My engagement ring is white gold and blue topaz (but I only wear it for special occasions now) and when I finally get a serious wedding ring (we had novelty ones due to jeweler issues) it'll probably be white gold. I wear yellow gold pieces from time to time, though.

mrsrobinsontobe · March 2014

platinum!!

jjt616 · March 2014

White gold. Yellow gold just does not look good on me.

pevila · March 2014

My engagement and wedding rings are white gold, and now I regret it. I used to wear a lot of silver at that time (nobody wears platinum in Peru). I wear a lot of yellow gold now (not like Mr. T, I mean I have a lot of pieces in yellow gold).

I hate to mix gold and silver (not only with jewelry, but belt buckles, and purse hardware), and I think my rings now clash with my favorite jewelry.

notkateanymore · March 2014

I wear it all. My wedding ring and band are platinum, but I wear a lot of gold costume jewelry now which I never though I would way back then.

meglew · March 2014

My engagement ring and wedding band are platinum. I have always been a platinum girl. But my mom got me a ring for my 1st Mother's Day that has DD1's birthstone and the setting is yellow gold. I absolutely adore it! TBH, there is a gorgeous piece of jewelry I have seen on Pinterest with a rose gold setting and a peach stone that I am sort of obsessed with. So I guess my tastes have evolved over the years.

Hollylb3 · March 2014

White gold, but I do have a couple of pieces of costume jewelry in yellow.

kalette · March 2014

I like both, but wanted my wedding ring in yellow gold. I like the way diamonds look in yellow.

minerswife17 · March 2014

White gold or platinum! I do have a rose gold necklace that I love. I just can't get myself to like yellow gold, no matter the piece. I just think "this would look sooo much better in white gold"

jenniann87 · March 2014

I have never liked yellow gold too much but it is starting to grow on me more and more. I much prefer white gold or platinum and really like rose gold. I guess it all depends on the piece.

jensriot · March 2014

White, but I can't wear it. Something about my body chemistry turns it to different colors. I have a couple white gold rings replayed in nickel. My wedding and engagement rings are platinum.

raraavis28 · March 2014

I think either can look lovely, but my personal preference is white gold....engagement ring and wedding band are white gold with little diamonds around the bands. DH, on the other hand, really wanted a yellow gold wedding band so our rings don't match at all. I don't think it's a big deal, though.

Court0026 · March 2014

I like both. My engagement ring is yellow gold and my wedding band is platinum. People used to comment all of the time. I have a lot of both "colors" of jewelry and liked the idea of my rings matching everything.

Platinum due to severe allergies.
