Restore Your Sparkle: Expert Rhodium Plating in North Yorkshire with Peter Nottingham Jeweller
Is your beautiful white gold jewellery looking a little dull, perhaps with a yellowish tinge? It’s a common issue, and one that Peter Nottingham Jeweller has been expertly addressing for clients across North Yorkshire for decades. From our dedicated workshop in Boroughbridge, we offer a professional rhodium plating service that will bring your cherished pieces back to life, gleaming with their original brilliance.
The Magic of Rhodium Plating: What is it and Why Do You Need It?
Most white gold jewellery isn’t naturally white. Gold, in its pure form, is a rich yellow. To create white gold, it’s alloyed with other white metals like palladium or silver. However, even with these alloys, white gold often retains a slightly yellowish hue. This is where rhodium plating comes in.
Rhodium is a precious, silvery-white metal that belongs to the platinum family. It’s incredibly hard, durable, and highly reflective. When a thin layer of rhodium is electroplated onto white gold, it provides that brilliant, mirror-like white finish we all associate with stunning white gold jewellery. This plating not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also adds a protective layer, guarding against scratches and tarnish. Over time, this rhodium layer can wear off, especially on frequently worn items like rings, revealing the warmer tone of the white gold underneath. This is a normal process, and easily remedied with our expert service.
