ELEGANT DESIGN

What is rhodium?
Rhodium is a member of the platinum metals group; the other members include platinum, palladium, ruthenium, iridium, and osmium.
From a decorative standpoint, what makes rhodium so desirable?
Among numerous other physical characteristics such as hardness, and high reflectivity, rhodium has an extraordinary resistance to most acids and corrosive substances.
It is one of the few "white" metals that will remain bright and reflective under all atmospheric conditions at ordinary temperatures.
As a result, electroplated surfaces that utilize rhodium plating remain scratch resistant, bright and attractive for years.
How scratch resistant are rhodium plated objects?
Among the "white" decorative platings, rhodium is considered "best in class" in terms of toughness and wear resistance.
Most items plated with at least .5 microns of rhodium are usually more scratch resistant than prior to being plated!
Electroplated rhodium has a hardness ranging from 400-550 vickers which makes it very resistant to incidental abrasions.
Over sterling silver objects, rhodium plating can prevent the formation of fine scratches that occur from normal handling and cleaning.
