Men's white gold wedding bands at President Jewellers are made bespoke in our Hatton Garden workshop, hallmarked 750 at the London Assay Office for 18ct. White gold reads bright cool-white on the finger — the most-chosen alternative to platinum at a more accessible price. 18ct white gold is 75% pure gold alloyed with white metals (typically palladium or nickel) and rhodium-plated for a brighter finish. We make bands in court, D-shape, flat-court and flat-comfort profiles, in widths from 3mm to 7mm. Plain, hammered, brushed, milgrain, and diamond-set. From £750.
18ct vs 9ct white gold — which to choose
Both are available; the choice depends on durability vs cost trade-off. 18ct white gold is 75% pure gold (hallmarked 750), has a richer feel and warmer underlying tone (rhodium-plated to look bright white on the surface), and is the standard quality for bespoke wedding rings. Pricing: a 5mm 18ct white gold court band sits at £750-£950. 9ct white gold is 37.5% pure gold (hallmarked 375), harder than 18ct because the alloy content is higher, more affordable but less rich-feeling on the finger, and also rhodium-plated. Pricing: a 5mm 9ct white gold court band sits at £350-£550. Both require re-rhodium plating every 2-3 years to maintain the bright finish — we offer this service at cost. Hallmarked at the London Assay Office.
Profiles and widths
Court. Curved external, curved internal — the most-chosen UK profile. D-shape. Curved external, flat internal — slim, modern. Flat-court. Flat external, curved internal — contemporary square-shouldered. Flat-comfort. Flat external, flat internal with chamfered edges — squared, masculine. Widths 3mm to 7mm; 5mm and 6mm are the most-chosen for daily wear; 7mm reads heavy. Every profile is available in 18ct or 9ct white gold.
Finishes
Polished. Mirror finish, brightest, the classic choice. Brushed (satin). Linear matt finish — popular alternative to polished for men wanting less shine. Hammered. Surface texture, hand-finished. Sandblast. All-over matt finish. Milgrain edge. Tiny bead detail along the band edge. Two-tone. White gold band with yellow or rose gold inlay for contrast. All finishes are hand-applied after casting.
Diamond-set white gold bands
White gold pairs beautifully with diamonds because the cool metal tone amplifies the white of the diamonds. Channel set — small diamonds (typically 0.05ct-0.15ct each) between two rails, flush with the band surface. Pavé set — grain-bead setting, more sparkle. Total carat weight typically 0.20ct-0.80ct across a half-band. The 18ct white gold setting holds the stones securely; 9ct white gold is harder, also holds stones well. Quality default: G-H colour, VS clarity. Half-band more common than full eternity because half-bands can be resized later.
Care — what white gold needs and platinum doesn't
White gold's bright white surface comes from rhodium plating over a slightly warm-toned white gold base. The rhodium gradually wears with daily contact — typically requiring re-plating every 2-3 years to keep the ring looking bright. The base gold underneath remains a slightly warm white if you leave the plating to wear off (an aesthetic some people prefer, with a softer, vintage-looking finish). Re-plating costs typically £40-£70 in 2026. Platinum 950 requires no plating because its colour is naturally bright white — this is the durability premium platinum offers.

Frequently asked questions
How much should a white gold wedding band cost?
Men's white gold wedding bands in the UK in 2026 range from £350 for a plain 4mm 9ct white gold court band, to £750-£950 for a plain 5mm 18ct white gold court band, to £1,400-£1,800 for diamond-set 18ct white gold bands with 0.40ct of accent diamonds, to £2,200-£2,800 for pavé bands with higher diamond carat weight. The driving factors are gold karat (18ct or 9ct), width, finish, and diamond total carat weight.
Is white gold ok for a wedding ring?
Yes. White gold is one of the most-chosen metals for men's wedding rings in the UK. 18ct white gold is 75% pure gold with a bright rhodium-plated finish — durable enough for daily wear, hypoallergenic in palladium-alloy versions, and significantly more affordable than platinum for the same dimensions. The only practical consideration is rhodium plating, which gradually wears and benefits from re-plating every 2-3 years to maintain the bright finish. 9ct white gold is also fine for wedding rings — actually harder than 18ct in terms of scratch resistance because the alloy content is higher.
How much is a white gold men's wedding ring?
A 5mm 18ct white gold court men's wedding ring at President Jewellers starts at £750. Hammered, brushed or milgrain finishes add £100-£200. Diamond-set 18ct white gold bands run £1,400-£2,800 depending on carat weight (typically 0.40ct to 0.80ct). 9ct white gold is approximately 50% less than 18ct for the same design. Every quote at President Jewellers is itemised before commitment.
Will my white gold wedding ring tarnish?
White gold does not tarnish — it is a precious metal stable under everyday conditions. What happens over time is that the rhodium plating wears, exposing the slightly warm-toned white gold base. The ring still functions perfectly and many people prefer the softer warmer look that emerges; others have the ring re-rhodium-plated every 2-3 years to maintain the bright cool-white finish. Re-plating typically costs £40-£70 in 2026 and we offer the service at cost for any ring we have made.
18ct or 9ct white gold for a wedding band?
18ct (75% gold) reads richer on the finger, holds its colour better over decades, and is the standard quality for bespoke wedding rings. 9ct (37.5% gold) is harder and more scratch-resistant because the alloy content is higher, more affordable (roughly 50% cheaper than 18ct), and a sensible choice if your hands take heavy wear. Both are hallmarked at the London Assay Office (750 for 18ct, 375 for 9ct). For a 'wear it forever' ring with the best looks, 18ct. For everyday robustness at a lower price, 9ct.
Does white gold need rhodium plating?
Yes, white gold rings benefit from rhodium plating to maintain a bright cool-white finish. The plating gradually wears with daily contact — typically requiring re-plating every 2-3 years for a constantly bright look. The base white gold underneath is a slightly warm-toned white that remains stable; many people prefer that warmer look once the rhodium wears, and leave it un-plated thereafter. Re-plating is a quick service (typically returns within a week) and costs £40-£70 in 2026.
How long does a bespoke white gold wedding band take?
7 to 14 working days from when you approve the silver sample. The first 2-4 days are CAD design and your review. Days 5-7 produce the silver or wax sample sent to your home for try-on. Once you approve, casting takes 3-5 days, finishing 2-3 days, and London Assay Office hallmarking adds 1-2 days. Free insured UK delivery on every order. If you have a tight wedding date, tell us at the consultation.
