Can White Gold Give An Allergic Reaction Like Regular Gold?

My girlfriend is allergic to gold. I want to get her an engagement ring but I m not sure if she is allergic to all forms of gold, ie white and rose gold. She told me that she is fine with rose gold. My question is will white gold give her an allergic reaction like regular gold?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
If she is allergic to yellow gold, she is likely to be allergic to white gold.
It is safer to get her a platinum ring.
Best wishes,
Dr Noble Zachariah
