White Gold Body Jewelry Guide: Alloy, Fit & Care

What white gold is: 14k yellow gold alloyed with white metals until it reads cool and bright, which is why a diamond or CZ looks bigger and whiter in it than in yellow. Every title on this page says White Gold; silver, steel and rhodium-tone pieces live on their own pages. A small 18k white gold line lives with the gold nose rings.

The honest nickel note: white-gold alloys vary by piece, and some white golds in the market use nickel to get the color. We will not call this page nickel-free. If you react to nickel, choose solid yellow 14k, which has none, or ask us about the specific piece and we will check before you buy. The gem-set tragus, cartilage and labret studs here are a white gold top on a flexible Bioplast post, so nothing metal sits inside the piercing at all; the hoops, captives, nose rings and belly rings are gold all the way through.

Fit follows the piercing, not the metal: 20G and 18G for the nostril, 16G for cartilage, lip, septum and eyebrow, 14G for nipple, navel and tongue. Read the numbers off the piece you wear now. Care is simple because gold is soft: thread ends on by hand, ease a captive just enough to seat the bead and never twist it, and a soft cloth brings the shine back; solid gold does not tarnish. Buy-one-get-two promotions do not apply to 14k gold; the price is the price.

White gold by piercing:

FAQ

Yes. Every piece on this page is solid 14k white gold and the title says so. Nothing here is silver, steel, rhodium-tone or plated; those live on their own pages. One detail to read for: many of the tragus, cartilage and labret studs are a solid white gold top on a flexible Bioplast post, and the title says Bioplast when that is the case. The hoops, captives, nose rings and belly rings are gold all the way through.

Not automatically, and we will not pretend otherwise. White gold is yellow gold alloyed with white metals, and the alloy varies by piece; some white golds use palladium, some use nickel. If you know you react to nickel, choose solid yellow 14k gold, which has none, or ask us about the specific piece before you buy and we will check. The Bioplast-post studs keep metal out of the piercing entirely.

All three are precious and all three last. White gold reads like platinum at a gold price and makes a diamond or CZ look bigger and brighter, which is why it is the stone-lover's pick. Yellow is the warm classic and the safe default for sensitive skin. Platinum is heavier, inert and rare; we carry a small line of platinum nose rings on the gold nose page.

Solid white gold does not tarnish, and its color comes from the alloy itself rather than a coating, so it does not flake or fade. Some white gold on the market is rhodium-plated to look brighter and warms slightly as that plating wears; if you want to know how a specific piece is finished, ask us and we will check. Either way, a soft polishing cloth brings the shine back and nothing underneath will surprise you.

The same sizes as every other metal, because fit follows the piercing: 20G and 18G nose rings and hoops, 16G cartilage, lip, septum and eyebrow, 14G nipple, navel and tongue. Read the gauge and length off the piece you wear now; both are on every product page, and at this price point you never guess.

You pay for gold by weight and for stones set by hand rather than glued; most pieces here are made to order in our own gold department in Buffalo, New York, so some ship a little slower than steel. Gold is priced as gold: buy-one-get-two promotions do not apply to 14k, and the price you see is the price. Care: thread ends on by hand, ease a captive rather than twisting it, and polish with a soft cloth.
