Your white gold might seem magnetic, but here's a breakdown of why, and whether it actually is:
Generally, white gold isn't magnetic. Here's why you might think it is:
- Nickel Content: White gold is often alloyed (mixed) with nickel to give it its white color. Nickel is a magnetic material.

Therefore, in most cases, your white gold shouldn't be strongly attracted to a magnet.
