It's white all the way through because of a special mixture they use (I believe its 75% gold and 25% palladium or something like that). They also manufacture their gold in house in a vacuum which removes impurities.

Trust me, it's not plated, it's white all the way though.
I know it doesn't make sense on paper, but it's true.
