Except extremely rare 24 karat gold made rings, pure silver and copper but also zinc and nickel is used to produce rings. For you, it’s interesting to understand that the color a ring will finally have depends on the composition.

If you add more nickel and zinc to your ring’s alloy instead of adding more cooper, you get a very white looking gold also called white gold. If you add only copper to a ring’s alloy you end up in getting a light yellow color also called yellow gold. Besides yellow gold and white gold, even red gold or green gold is known but not so common.

Finally please consider: the valuable part of your gold ring is the gold. The other metals have some but only little value.
