Rhodium is a silver, high quality plating which will ensure jewellery does not tarnish easily or quickly. Rhodium is also hypoallergenic.
More expensive than gold by weight, rhodium is one of the rarest and most valuable precious metals (a member of the platinum metal group). White gold is often plated with a thin rhodium layer to improve its appearance, while sterling silver is often rhodium plated for tarnish resistance.
There are many rhodium imitations. Items which are stated as plated in rhodium on our website are plated in genuine rhodium. Rhodium is an expensive metal, so expect to pay a little more for jewellery which features the real thing.
