Rhodium Plating...
Rhodium is part of the platinum family.
If you are bored with some of your jewellery and need a change, rhodium plating is an inexpensive way of giving your jewellery a different look. It also gives you a chance to try out the look of white gold, without purchasing a new white gold item right away.
Depending on how you 'wear' your jewellery and the acidity levels in your body, rhodium plating can last for at least one year. It usually begins to wear at the bottom of rings, and sometimes any parts that are high and vulnerable. Earrings, pendants, necklaces, and chains are less susceptible to wear because they do not come in contact with as many objects. If the rhodium begins to fade on these items, it would be noticable mainly where it comes in contact with the skin.
When your jewellery becomes dull or the plating begins to fade, you can simply have it polished and re-plated.
