Rhodium-plated silver is a type of jewelry that is made by coating the metal with rhodium. After being discovered during WWI, Rhodium has become more popular in daily life. Rhodium helps to prevent the metal from tarnishing. Rhodium plating is achieved through electroplating process which is finished with polishing and etching.
Rhodium-plated silver can be easily identified in most cases because it has a distinctive white color in contrast with yellowish shades in regular sterling silver pieces.
How to keep your jewelries clean & shiny?
