I actually like natural white gold better. If I wanted the rhodium look I’d go with platinum. Tried to get a set of diamond earrings from a jeweler but wanted them set in white gold without rhodium and they refused. Never went back there.
I would like to know why my husband's white gold ring turned yellow while mine turned a mixture of copper and silverish blue, which looks blue or black in general. We've been wearing them for 20+ years, but have taken them off for a year or so due to reasons. These rings looked "white" on our fingers, but the year that they were placed aside, his turned yellow while mine copperish blue! Does anyone have knowledge of this who can explain it to me? P.S. it would be helpful to know that we got them from two different places, so in other words, they were not bought in the same shop.
I recently bought a preowned diamond pendant and chain from an online business marked 14k, listed as yellow gold. It was supposedly tested, but I don't know what the results were except that it's 14k. I knew the color looked a little off, but I assumed it was the lighting. When I saw it in person it was a pale yellow and it didn't look like my other gold jewelry. I decided to dip it in some gold and diamond cleaner and then rinse it well with water. The solution wasn't on it for more than a minute, but it turned silver in color and shiny. I assume it's white gold and the plating has worn off for one reason or another. But, if the rhodium has worn off, how would cleaning it turn it white again? I'm really confused now. Btw, I have a white gold chain and pendant that I've had for years that I've only rarely cleaned with dish detergent, and it's never yellowed. I had never even heard of necklaces yellowing. Thank you so much!
It sounds more like you bought a silver piece coated in gold, and the gold weared off, and when you cleaned it you removed the final vestiges of yellow gold. you should go test it personally.
Lmao, comparing a polished nice thick rhodium plated ring vs a dingy, scratched, unpolished, thin ring is just biased. Get 2 similar rings and polish them both up.
I don't think white gold absolutely needs the rhodium plating, I quite enjoy it's yellowish tint.

I personaly love the color of natural white gold, it is whitest than regular gold, but yet resembles gold.

Unfortunately, somebody probably scam you by selling you gold plated piece of jewelry.
Is it normal for it to turn yellow after 2 months of been plating?
no, they usually say 6 months but depends what you’re doing with the ring on
nah
Does rhodium plating over yellow gold make it slightly magnetic?
No. Both metals are not magnetic.
