Common questions about rhodium plating.
Q Can you rhodium plate my yellow gold ring so that it is white?
A Although we can plate yellow gold rings, it is not something that we advise or encourage. With yellow gold rings, as soon as you scratch the ring the yellow gold will show through the white of the rhodium plating looking messy.
Q How long does Rhodium Plating take?
A We Rhodium Plate 2 to 3 times a week, depending on when your item arrives with us we would typically take 1 to 3 working days.
Q Can you rhodium plate base metal costume jewellery?
A I am afraid that we are unable to rhodium plate costume jewellery as it contaminates our rhodium plating soloution. We are only able to rhodium plate silver and gold jewellery.
Q Can you rhodium plate my yellow gold diamond earrings and pendant set?
A We can certainly rhodium plate earrings and pendants. Any item of yellow gold jewellery that does not receive a lot of hard wear is fine to be rhodium plated. The only item of jewellery that we do not recommend rhodium plating is yellow gold rings.
Q How should I send my jewellery to you?
A All jewellery is sent at your own risk so we strongly advise using an insured service such as Royal Mail Special Delivery. In 10 years we have not had a single parcel sent by Special Delivery lost or stolen in the post. All returned jewellery is returned by Royal Mail Special Delivery.
