Rhodium plating is a common procedure that is utilized with jewelry to enhance the scratch resistance of the surface while giving it a brilliant reflective appearance. But, what is rhodium?
Rhodium is a precious metal, a member of the platinum family. Rhodium electroplating is used, especially on jewelry, to provide a surface that will resist scratches and tarnish, and give a white, reflective appearance.
If you want to maintain the distinct sheen, exuberance and beauty of your white gold rings and precious jewelry forever, rhodium plating or dipping is a great option. Rhodium plating will not only enhance the reflectivity and luster of white gold, but also make the diamonds on it shine brighter and appear more clear and brilliant.
There is nothing quite like the beautiful bright white finish that rhodium gives to a piece of jewelry. With its bright, glittering and reflective qualities from a few feet away it’s hard to tell where the stones end and the metal begins.Because rhodium is so bright and makes stones look so stunning,
Does the rhodium plating last forever?
It depends on the piece of jewelry and how much friction it gets. For earrings and necklaces, the rhodium plating may never wear off. But for rings that are worn daily, the rhodium plating may only last a year or two. It really depends on how much wear your ring receives.
Why is rhodium used in jewelry?
Almost all white gold jewelry has been rhodium plated. The reason is because gold in it’s natural color is yellow. Think of the color of a gold nugget it’s not white. So to make white gold, pure gold is alloyed with white metals, This bleaches the color and whitens it. However, the color is more of an off-white. Kind of a dingy
white-ish color. Definitely not the color of platinum or high polished silver. In order for white gold to have a nice crisp bright white color like the platinum, the jewelry is rhodium plated. This plating really improves the appearance of the white gold jewelry.
