All over India, women wear a lot of jewelry and even men used to wear some of it. India of old times had several small kingdoms and so styles in each kingdom flourished under the patronage of the local kings.

What is White Gold
There are however gold alloys which appear white, silvery, or grey.Gold itself is a yellow metallic element whichis too soft to be used for general jewellery purposes. The yellow colour of gold is caused by gold absorbing violet and blue light, but reflecting yellow and red light.
The commonest metal which causes a significant bleaching effect in gold is nickel, which has the great advantage of being inexpensive, a good colour match for platinum, however its colour matching in 14 and 9 carat alloys is poor.Most American and Italian white gold alloys use nickel.
A typical nickel containing white gold alloy might be, in parts per thousand: Gold 750, Copper 55, Nickel 145, Zinc 50
