Rhodium plating A. Most white gold jewelry today is rhodium plated. Rhodium is a very precious metal that costs ten times as much as gold! Rhodium is generally not considered a feasible material to make jewelry from, though, because it is stressed and brittle, very difficult to "work" properly for jewelry making, and it's price is very volatile (sometimes it's 5x as costly as gold, sometimes 25x).

But rhodium is fabulous as a plating for jewelry. It is glitteringly, dazzlingly, white and mirror-like. It's like chrome, but much whiter, and the most reflective of all metals.

Rhodium plating makes diamonds look bigger and better because it's so bright that it glints like the diamonds. From a few feet away and under most lighting conditions it's hard to see where the stones end and the metal begins. Nothing sets off diamonds like rhodium plating does.

Thank you
