Comparaison de métaux

Or blanc vs Or jaune

Les deux sont de l'or véritable — avec des alliages et des finitions différents. Voici comment choisir.

Réponse rapide

Si vous avez des teintes de peau froides ou neutres et souhaitez un look moderne, choisissez l'or blanc. Si vous avez des teintes chaudes ou aimez l'esthétique classique et vintage, l'or jaune est plus adapté — et nécessite moins d'entretien.

Avantage: Preference

WHITE GOLD

Bright silver-white finish. Sleek and modern. Complements cool or neutral skin tones.

Requires rhodium replating every 1–2 years to maintain its bright white finish. More upkeep.
