There’s a certain kind of magic in white gold earrings. A modern metal with a storied soul, white gold emerged in the 1920s as a stylish, luminous alternative to platinum. And while trends have come and gone in the century since, the appeal of white gold has only deepened—its cool luster, its contemporary edge, its understated glamour. At Alden + Mara, we take that legacy and reimagine it with precision and poetry, crafting each piece through the hands of third-generation jewelers, whose mastery transforms metal into something nearly ethereal.
Unlike the warmer tones of yellow gold or the rustic heritage of silver, white gold hoop earrings carry a kind of architectural elegance. They are clean, sculptural, metropolitan. To wear them is to wear refinement without restraint. The metal’s unique alloy—a fusion of pure gold with palladium or nickel—creates its signature silvery sheen and strength. Our 14k white gold earrings are then rhodium plated, giving them an extra mirror-like glow that resists tarnish and embraces the light.
White gold has long been a favorite among style purists and avant-garde dressers alike. From the Jazz Age to today’s front rows in Paris and Milan, white gold huggie earrings, white gold drop earrings, and white gold studs have framed the faces of women who understand the power of nuance. It doesn’t clamor for attention. It catches it—gently, yet undeniably. This is the aesthetic of Alden + Mara: quiet allure, unapologetically modern.
What sets our white gold earrings apart? It begins with intention. Each design is sketched with purpose, engineered with balance, and brought to life by artisans who inherited not only tools, but tradition. The result? Pieces that feel architectural but soft, refined but sensual. Our white gold bar earrings fall like a whisper. Our white gold threaders dance with movement. Our diamond-accented white gold hoops gleam like polished armor. It’s not just jewelry—it’s wearable art.
There’s something especially captivating about the way white gold plays with contrast. Against deep skin tones, it becomes celestial. Against pale complexions, it reads as avant-garde. It elevates the simplest black turtleneck, sharpens a slinky slip dress, softens a crisp blazer. That’s the genius of minimalist white gold earrings—they never compete, only complete.
At Alden + Mara, we don’t chase trends. We craft legacies. And in a marketplace awash with mass-manufactured pieces, our ethically crafted white gold earrings stand as a testament to slow luxury. Our white gold is responsibly sourced. Our settings are made to last. Our silhouettes are sculpted to outlive seasons. These are earrings you reach for instinctively, day after day, year after year. They become part of you.
Because in the end, what makes white gold earrings from Alden + Mara truly shine isn’t the metal alone. It’s the woman who wears them. The one who understands that elegance doesn’t shout—it simmers. The one who knows that luxury is not defined by excess, but by excellence. And the one who deserves a little light—reflected back at her, brilliantly.
