White Gold and Rhodium Plating
(Pin only) Rhodium is a member of the Platinum family. It is a precious and extremely expensive metal. Depending on the market, Rhodium can cost twice that of gold and platinum.
The basis of all gold jewelry, is 24k pure gold, which is yellow. Jewelry made of “White Gold” (10k, 14k, 18k) is almost always, plated with Rhodium. Rhodium resists scratching and tarnishing, giving the white, reflective appearance many designers, jewelers and jewelry owners desire.
When a piece of “White Gold” jewelry begins to show yellow or gold color, it simply needs to be taken to a competent goldsmith or jeweler, who will clean and Rhodium Plate the piece for you.
