Rhodium Plating

Make your jewellery shine

Rhodium and gold plating are commonly used techniques for finishing and protecting jewellery. Rhodium is a preferred option for plating jewellery made of platinum, white gold, palladium, or silver. It offers a bright and shiny finish, enhancing the overall appearance of diamond pendants, earrings, bracelets, and wedding and engagement rings. Meanwhile, gold plating is ideal for giving a lustrous finish to rose or yellow gold jewellery, making it look sophisticated and refined. These plating techniques are widely used in the jewellery industry to enhance the beauty and durability of precious metals.

Rhodium for durability

Rhodium plating enhances the lustre and endurance of metals such as platinum, gold, palladium, or silver and gives the jewellery a bright, shiny finish, particularly those that feature a diamond.

Restore your jewellery to new again
A little polishing goes a long way. You don’t need to buy new jewellery when you can rejuvenate it with a little bit of work. Polishing provides the lustrous finish that you want while also helping to restore scratches, dents and other surface damages on your jewellery.
Add a touch of class
What’s the first thing you notice when you see jewellery? The lustrous surface. Rhodium and gold plating can add that bit of extra class to your jewellery, making it more spectacular than ever before.
Common Questions

Rhodium plating is used to create a silver-white reflective metal finish that is often used to plate platinum, white gold, palladium or silver, giving it a brighter, more reflective finish.

The duration of rhodium plating’s lifespan depends on several factors, such as the frequency of use and the level of wear and tear the item experiences. Generally, rhodium plating on jewellery can last anywhere from several months to several years. Eventually, the plating will wear off, and the item will require re-plating to restore its original shine and lustre.

Since rhodium is a harder metal than silver it’s generally used to provide a protective coating for silver jewellery. There are many benefits to rhodium plating, which may include:

  • gives a silver piece a more lustrous appearance
  • helps to protect the silver from scratches as it’s a harder metal
  • helps prevent silver from tarnishing

Due to these benefits, all of Fidda & Katina’s silver jewellery is rhodium plated for extra durability and shine.
