Our rhodium plating is the highest quality available. It is icy-white and it provides lustre and makes the jewellery more scratch resistant. We always apply a double thickness of rhodium plating.
The rhodium plating is a process which gives the white gold its ultra-white colour by placing a coating over the existing metal. How long it last depends on wear for example a white gold ring that you wear everyday on your hand will require rhodium plating sooner than a pendant worn around your neck. The rhodium plating process puts a current through the metal and the rhodium binds to the elements of the jewellery that conduct current (metal not gemstones & diamonds). We use nail polish to isolate the areas we don’t want plated & this is called masking.
