Rhodium plating
Rhodium plating is a process regularly used in jewelry to maintain or restore the brilliant appearance of white gold and sterling silver jewelry. Plating is the action of covering an object with a thin layer of metal and rhodium is a noble metal from the platinum family. When a thin layer of rhodium covers sterling silver – also called 925 silver – it protects it from hasty oxidation which tarnishes the jewelry. When applied, this shiny metal hides the yellowish tint of white gold and makes it shine brightly.
At Flamme en rose, precious metals are treated with care and all our silver and white gold jewelry is automatically rhodium plated before being polished. The result of rhodium plating is amazing but does not last forever. If you wear your jewelry every day, it is recommended to have it rhodium plated once a year.
At Flamme en rose jewelry store in Montreal, we use high-end Italian rhodium for greater durability and a more dazzling result. Rhodium is a metal in the platinum group and its provenance and quality matters. Precious metals require regular maintenance to maintain their beauty. Rhodium plating and polishing are great ways to do this. You can only rhodium plate white gold and 925 silver. Silver jewelry has the defect of oxidizing quickly and rhodium plating slows down this chemical process. White gold cannot shine without a thin layer of rhodium if we want it without yellowish spots.
