White gold is just yellow gold mixed with Silver or Rhodium. .

You can get them re-plated but eventually the yellow gold will come through as the silver rubs off.

Got this off google :-

"Eighteen-carat white gold consists of 75% gold mixed with 25% white metals. New white gold rings are usually coated with a hard protective finish of rhodium, a silver-white metal like platinum. To keep a white gold ring looking its best, Gillett's recommends an annual replating of rhodium, since the coating wears off over time.".


Looks nice though, but i stick with Platinum
