The making of white gold and sterling silver

I know that sterling silver is at least 92.5% silver, with copper the most common metal used as the remainder. White gold is habitually an alloy of gold, palladium and silver. It can also contains nickel, zinc, copper and other elements, which may change the color of the alloy. Most of the time, jewelry is made by investment casting (in french, we call it "cire perdue" which means "lost wax"). I found interesting information at: www.unitedpmr.com/instructions1.html
Good luck!
