All About Rhodium

What Is Rhodium? Rhodium is a precious metal in the platinum group, which likens it to platinum and palladium. It is often found in platinum or nickel ores and sometimes as an alloy. Rhodium’s silvery appearance makes it popular for jewelry plating, especially for sterling silver.

Rhodium plating, also known as rhodium dip or rhodium flashing, is used to increase the durability, luster and light reflection of a piece of jewelry. Rhodium plating silver jewelry will ensure that the piece is highly lustrous and remains tarnish-free for a long time. Because it is a hard metal, a rhodium plated piece of jewelry will be more scratch resistant. Rhodium plating is mainly used on silver-hued metals, such as white gold, palladium or silver.

Free of nickel and similar allergens, rhodium is hypoallergenic and thus the perfect choice for those with sensitive skins. The polished and crisp look of this metal adds a lustrous appearance to our jewelry making all items very attractive.

Rhodium is protective yet beautiful and valuable looking. You will enjoy the white gold look on your jewels and the fact that Rhodium never tarnishes.
