Rhodium Plating
Rhodium plating is a crucial process in the jewellery industry, particularly for white gold pieces. White gold, while popular for its elegant appearance, is not naturally white. Instead, it has a yellowish hue due to the alloying of yellow gold with metals such as palladium or nickel. To achieve the stunning bright white look that consumers desire, rhodium plating is employed
The process of rhodium plating involves applying a thin layer of rhodium, a precious metal, over the surface of the white gold. This not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the jewelry but also provides a protective layer that can help prevent scratches and tarnishing. The result is a brilliant, reflective surface that gives white gold its signature shine.
At our onsite workshop, we offer a specialized rhodium plating service that can be completed in just one hour. This service is designed to restore the original luster of your white gold jewelry, making it look brand new. Our skilled technicians meticulously polish out all scratches and imperfections before applying the rhodium plating, ensuring that the final product meets the highest standards of quality.
It is important to note that rhodium plating is not a permanent solution. Over time, the plating may wear off, especially with regular wear. Factors such as exposure to chemicals, friction, and the frequency of use can affect the longevity of the plating. Therefore, periodic re-plating is recommended to maintain the jewellery's appearance and protect the underlying metal.
In summary, rhodium plating is an essential service for maintaining the beauty of white gold jewellery.
