The white "stuff" you find on the base of you're tongue ring surrounding the jewelry is called lymph. It's completely normal and is produced naturally in you're body to speed up the healing process. Do not panic when you see the foreign goo. A lot of people think it is puss from an infection, but they are wrong.

Is a platinum ring better than a 18K white gold ring?

Yes. Platinum is more durable that gold. It is a heavier, denser metal. Over time, white gold will begin to wear and you will be able to see a hint of yellow gold. This is because white gold really is yellow gold that has been treated with a chemical to turn it silver or "white." Platinum is it's own metal and given the strength of it, will not change colors.


What is the different in white gold and yellow gold?

Gold is naturally yellow, but for white gold it is treated with rhodium. Rhodium is a coating that gives it its white color and shine. Sometimes rhodium can wear off of a ring and you will see a yellowish color underneath. But this can be easily fixed by taking the item to a jewelry store to have it re- rhodiumed.


How do you know if a ring is white gold or platinum?

There are several ways to tell if a ring is white gold or platinum. The first and easiest way to tell what a ring is, look for the hallmark inside the ring. If you notice a 10k or .475 stamp, it means that it is 10k gold (or 47.5% gold). If there is a 14k or .585 stamp inside, it means its 14k gold (or 58.5% gold). If you see a 18k or .750 stamp, its 18k gold (or 75% gold). If you see a stamp that says PLAT, or is stamped .950 or .900, then it is a platinum ring. There are other ways to tell if it is platinum or white gold as well. Platinum is usually 60% heavier than 14k gold. So take a ring that you KNOW is gold and compare it with the weight of the ring in question. If the ring in question is much heavier than the gold ring, then it is most likely platinum. Additionally, if the ring in question has a yellow or tarnished look to it, then it is most likely gold. If you're still unsure, just take it to your local jeweler and ask them to test it for you. They should have several techniques they can use to determine what metal it is. If you don't feel like going out of the house and still need some clarification, there is a great tutorial of precious metals that you can access at the link below this posting. I hope this helps, and good luck!
