Yes, assuming they are alloyed properly. In any case, regardless of the color of the alloy, it should contain the exact same ratio of gold, which is alloyed by weight. Said another way, 14K yellow or white should contain the same percentage as rose, blue, green or violet gold (58.3%).banjags said:If a person was buying scrap white gold would you pay the same per gram as yellow gold?
Sorry----all of my experience revolves around acid processing, so I am unable to answer that. I don't have a clue. I would assume that white gold would respond if yellow does, but I hesitate to say with certainty.would a separate cell work on white gold like it does with yellow?
To my knowledge, rhodium has not been used to make white gold. I certainly never encountered it, and it would have been obvious by its lack of cooperation when dissolving the gold. You may wish to verify the veracity of the information you received in that regard, and I stand to be corrected if I am misinformed.markqf1 said:Harold,
I've been studying about inquarting gold with rhodium, so that the gold would capture the rhodium. I have also read this is true for nickel. I believe I have also read that on very rare occasions, gold has been alloyed with rhodium to make jewelery as well.
Now I'm a little confused.
Actually, nothing, not in the scheme of things. When you inquart, you are making (or altering) an alloy. The difference is that the connotation "inquart" signifies 25% (quartering) of a specific element (when refining gold, it would pertain to gold content of the alloy, although in assaying terms, it would apply to the button that was in need of parting) a term well used in assaying. Alloying is not specific, it simply implies a mixture of two or more elements in unspecified proportions.Not to sound stupid here(probably to late for that), but , as it pertains to gold and rhodium, just what is the difference between inquarting and alloying?
