L'or 18 carats le plus blanc au monde

Solid white gold is an alloy of gold mixed with other metals to achieve a desired level of whiteness on the CIELab scale.
In the US for example, it typically consists of gold, and nickel. However, due to nickel allergy issues, this composition is not used in the EU.
In the EU, white gold is commonly made with gold,and palladium, known as “palladium white gold”, which is often too gray and requires rhodium plating for a whiter finish. 

Traditional other white options for jewelry include rhodium plating (in thinner layer), naturally white silver, and more expensive platinum. Daumet’s white gold is made using a patented alloy of gold and tungsten, creating the only and most durable white gold available.

Rhodium plating is commonly used to give white gold jewelry its bright and white finish. However, rhodium is a rare and polluting metal, with its extraction process being complex and environmentally damaging. The electroplating application process poses risks to operators, requires significant water usage, and involves harmful chemical products. Additionally, rhodium disappears over time, revealing a gray color underneath and necessitating frequent replating. The rising cost of rhodium, now twice the price of gold, exacerbates these issues. In contrast, Daumet’s white gold coating does not tarnish, offering a sustainable, precious, long-lasting alternative that maintains its brilliance without the need for frequent maintenance.

Yes, Daumet’s white gold coating can be applied on a variety of metals, including silver 925/sterling silver, brass, stainless steel, and more. This versatility allows jewelers to create exquisite white gold jewelry across different metal bases, ensuring high-end quality and aesthetic appeal.

Traditional white gold can tarnish over time, especially if it is rhodium-plated, requiring regular maintenance. However, Daumet’s white gold coating is highly resistant to scratches and tarnishing, ensuring that the jewelry retains its luminous white finish for years without the need for additional treatments.

Absolutely. Daumet’s white gold coating is perfect on silver even for creating white gold vermeil, where a thick layer of white gold is applied over sterling silver, enhancing its durability and preciousness.

Daumet’s white gold coating uses a patented alloy of gold and tungsten, reducing reliance on rare and environmentally damaging metals like rhodium. The Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process used for applying this coating is also more environmentally friendly than traditional plating, resulting in lower carbon emissions and reduced environmental impact.

Daumet is finally conscious of its gold sourcing, only working with either recycled or Fairmined gold.
