White Gold Alloy Calculator

Calculate a proposed white-gold batch from target karat and explicit alloy percentages. The composition remains editable because white-gold systems vary by specification.

White Gold Mass-Balance Method

Gold = Batch Weight × Karat ÷ 24

Non-Gold Alloy = Batch Weight − Gold

Component Mass = Non-Gold Alloy × Component Share

The tool calculates the mass balance from your specified recipe; it does not infer a universal white-gold chemistry from the colour name.

Why White Gold Recipes Need Special Care

White-gold composition can influence colour, hardness, casting behavior and finishing requirements. Some production systems may also use additional metals or processing steps not represented by a simple two-component split.

Use this as a planning calculator and verify the actual alloy specification before production.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can palladium be one of the components?

Yes. Give the component the percentage specified by your chosen recipe.

Does the calculator determine whether the alloy will look white enough?

No. Colour and performance depend on the actual alloy system and processing.
