Rhodium is a precious metal that comes from the same family as platinum. Rhodium-plated jewelry involves plating the jewelry with a surface that guards against scratches while also providing a reflective white appearance. It is most commonly found on white gold jewelry but can also be used on silver and other materials.
At Quality Plating Ltd, all of our finishes go through an electro cleaning and electroplating process and can come with either a polish or satin finish.
What is Rhodium?
Although rhodium plating is commonly used in jewelry, not many people know what the metal actually is. Even more than gold or silver, rhodium is considered the rarest and most valuable precious metal in the world and belongs to the six platinum-group metals. It is also classified as a noble metal, meaning that it does not react to oxygen easily, acts as a fantastic catalyst, and is resistant to corrosion and oxidation.
Since rhodium is quite brilliant and resistant to tarnishing, it is used as a finish for jewelry, searchlights and mirrors. Curious to see if rhodium plating is a good fit for your project? Give the team at Quality Plating Ltd a call today and we’ll answer all your questions!

The Properties of Rhodium
Rhodium is a member of the platinum group of metals and is silver-hued, highly reflective and does not tarnish or corrode. It is harder than gold and is highly durable.
However, rhodium is a very brittle metal and is not easily shaped or formed. As a result, pure rhodium cannot be made into jewelry. But when used to plate other jewelry, rhodium enhances the durability of the base metal.
Another bonus is that since rhodium plating is hypoallergenic, you won’t get skin reactions from rhodium plated jewelry. In fact, if you have a piece of jewelry that is causing you skin reactions, rhodium plating the piece can eliminate this problem.
