It’s a method of covering or dipping your jewelry in rhodium. Rhodium is used for jewelry that you intend to wear every day.
Rhodium is a silvery-white metal that’s a member of the platinum family. It looks similar to silver. It’s made from a base metal of silver, gold, or other alloy.
It can last anywhere from 1-5 years depending on the use of your piece and your body chemistry. If you have jewelry that’s been plated before, you will be able to discern if it needs to be refinished again.
Why plate my jewelry?
It’s only a thin layer! It preserves the strength of your piece and creates a beautiful shine giving you peace of mind.
Here are a few benefits of rhodium plating:
1. Creates longevity against any type of scratch or scrape
2. Harder than gold which creates durability
3. Covers your piece creating a beautiful shine
4. Corrosion resistant
5. Hypoallergenic
6. Less prone to tarnishing or discoloration
