Rhodium Plating
Over the years, the fashion industry has increasingly favored white metals such as white gold and platinum, making rhodium plating an essential component of jewellery maintenance. Rhodium, a member of the platinum family, is utilized to impart a high-polish finish to these white metals. It is advisable to apply rhodium plating every six months to two years, depending on the frequency of wear.
The plating process involves several steps: first, removing the old rhodium; second, polishing the metal to remove scratches and imperfections; and finally, applying a new layer of rhodium. This thorough procedure ensures that the piece looks as pristine as it did on the day of purchase.
