Brian,

    I agree to disagree. Being quite new to the forum (only 6 months or
    so) but for almost 20 years in jewellery industry I can see the
    growing fashion for white gold for last 5 years or more. It's most
    likely temporary thing but even if it's not in fashion tomorrow there
    always will be customers who dislike yellow gold but find silver to
    cheap and platinum to expensive. 

    From the goldsmith's prospective it gives us a real challenge to
    find that perfect white gold alloy that it's not brittle, it can be
    rolled or casted and it doesn't have that yellowish tint covered by
    rhodium plating and starts to show few years (sometimes month) after
    the purchase. And white diamonds look better in white gold setting,
    wouldn't you agree?
