You can't go by the color.  The ring may be any number of things, sterling
silver is 7% or so copper, and white gold has some gold in it.  She needs
to see if she is allergic to pure silver, so she needs to take some 14
guage fine silver wire and wrap it around her finger, or keep a Canadian
Silver Maple Leaf against her skin for a while.  I suspect that she is
allergic to copper, not silver.
