White Gold Resale Guide: Price, Purity & What to Expect When Selling

White gold is increasingly common in modern Indian jewellery – particularly in rings, bracelets and necklaces made for contemporary designs. Unlike traditional 22K yellow gold jewellery, most white gold is 18K (75% gold) or 14K (58.5% gold) alloyed with palladium or nickel to achieve its silver-white colour, then plated with rhodium for brightness.  At resale, white gold sells at the same per-gram IBJA rate as yellow gold of equal purity. This guide explains exactly how white gold is valued and what you receive at an Attica Gold branch.

Cash Value Examples

●      5g 18K white gold ring – ₹57,188 today

●      10g 18K white gold bracelet – ₹1,14,375 today

Resale Formula & Worked Example

The formula is identical to yellow gold: Weight (g) × Purity Fraction × Today’s 24K Rate. For 10g of 18K white gold: 10 × 0.75 × ₹15,250 = ₹1,14,375.

For 8g of 14K white gold: 8 × 0.585 × ₹15,250 = ₹71,370. Rhodium plating has no gold value and adds nothing to the payout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is white gold worth in India today?

White gold is priced by its gold content – typically 18K (75%) or 14K (58.5%). At today’s rate: 18K white gold = ₹11,438/g; 14K = ₹8,921/g. The rhodium plating on the surface adds no resale value.

How is white gold different from yellow gold at resale?

The resale process is identical – XRF testing, weighing and payment at the IBJA rate. The key difference is that most white gold is 18K or 14K rather than 22K, so the per-gram rate is lower than standard Indian jewellery.

Does rhodium plating affect resale value?

No. Rhodium is a surface coating and is not counted as gold content. The XRF machine reads the gold alloy beneath the plating. No deduction and no premium for rhodium.

What purity is most white gold jewellery?

Most Indian white gold jewellery is 18K (750) or 14K (585). The hallmark on the piece (750 or 585) indicates purity. XRF testing at the Attica branch confirms.

Can I sell white gold at any Attica branch?

Yes. Every Attica Gold branch buys white gold. XRF testing works the same for white gold as for yellow gold.

What documents do I need?

Aadhaar is mandatory. PAN required if total sale exceeds ₹2,00,000.

Is white gold worth more or less than yellow gold?

At equal weight and purity, white and yellow gold of the same karat fetch the same per-gram rate – both are priced at the IBJA rate for that purity. Since most white gold is 18K while most Indian jewellery is 22K, white gold typically fetches a lower per-gram rate.
