E.Charters,re:<Once the silver is over 20% the gold is white>. Sorry to correct your sentence here.White gold usually contains 5% nickel + silver + copper,depending what carat is desired."White gold" is always an alloy and was invented to copy platinum.It is much stronger than yellow (regular)gold and is therefore used as head for diamond rings.There are other colors of gold alloys,pink, bronze, green, blue.All are caused by adding traces of other metals.Bluish is caused by iron,greenish by silver,pink by aluminum.Copper is used to get a more correct "gold color" in gold merchandise.It all depends on the mix of the metals what color hue one gets.German silver does not contain silver.It is called Alpaca and is an alloy of copper/ nickel/zinc.By the way silver is always white(or almost).Below 800 silver is not callable silver in Canada.Siver as we know it is mostly Sterling silver and is 935 pure(out of 1000).Coins were mostly 800 silver,but could have had other grades too.
