What is Rhodium?
Rhodium is a highly reflective precious metal (more valuable than gold and platinum) used to plate white gold and silver jewellery. It is very hard wearing metal and does not tarnish. It is important to be aware that rhodium plating will not last forever and that on jewellery that is worn a lot eg. rings, they may have to be replated.
What is the best way to look after my jewellery?
Dust, pollution and daily wear all conspire to dull the surface of your jewellery and cloud the sparkliness of your gemstones.
