White gold turned yellow................?

That's normal.

White gold is usually regular yellow gold that has been dipped--more likely in rhodium, which is similar in property to platinum. Over time and through wear and tear, it fades and the natural yellow of the gold will start to come through. All you would need to do is take it to a jeweler and they can re-dip it to restore the sheen and color. This is usually done every couple of years.

So, don't fret too much about it. It's a natural process and your ring can easily be fixed.

You may have been scammed. White gold is made by adding zinc & nickel to yellow gold during the smelting stage. This will never turn yellow. To simulate white gold from yellow gold that has already been cast, they dip it in rodium (kinda like bleaching it). This will turn yellow & needs to be redone about every 3 years (not months). If you paid for 18K white gold then you got cheated. If you paid for 18K yellow gold & then paid to get it dipped, you kinda got cheated cuz it should last longer. Some things to know about gold (when you go back to talk to the local jeweler). There is no such thing as 24K white gold. 24K gold (99.9% pure) is yellow cuz this is the natural color of gold. When they are melting metals down, they add other metals to give it strength or cheapen it in some cases. With yellow gold it is metals like copper. This gives it a reddish hue. To make white gold, they add zinc & nickel (about 18% and 4%) this brings it to about 18K gold (or about 75% pure gold). 10K white gold had much more of these metals (making it about 40% pure gold). The first thing youi want to do is be sure you agreed & paid for 18K white gold & not 18K yellow gold that was to be dipped & then you can go from there.

Rings are often "dipped" at a jeweler to make them white or yellow gold. You should take it in and have it re-dipped. It will not adhere to the stones but will re-bond the white color to the exposed yellow. It is not usually that expensive, maybe $50?

It is the rhodium plating over the white gold. You can either go back to where you had it sized, and ask them to fix the spot where they sized it by replating it, or you can leave it. The rhodium will eventually wear off anyway, and your entire ring will be that sort of yellow color, which is the true color of white gold. I have my rings re-dipped every year, so they stay bright white and shiny.

EDIT: Most white gold jewelry is rhodium plated to give it that bright white appearance, and has nothing to do with the quality or gold content of the ring.

You'll need to get it what called "erodium" if I spelled that right. Just call any jewerly store and they'll give you the proper name. Yea, there's no such thing as "white gold" really. It's plated and to keep it white it'll cost anywhere between $40 to $65. Any more than that is a rip off.

It's either one of two things. One: The jeweler used something other than white gold to weld the ring during the resizing. Two: QVC. How to tell the difference, show your ring to a different jeweler.

I don't know, I would go back to the jeweler, my girlfriend took her ring in to be re-sized and when she picked it up her diamond had a huge black flaw in it, she ended up having to get a lawyer, the jeweler basically replaced her diamond with a different one.

It is originally a yellow gold, bleached white, but not properly bleached.

Take it by to the jeweler and ask him to re-bleach it.

yes it's dipped in rhodium you need to get it redipped at a jewelery repair or jeweler white gold is really yellow gold with rhodium over it.

This happens to mine all the time.

I just take it in every few months to get it 'repainted"

I have a warranty on it for life so it's good.
