18K white gold jewelry is plated with rhodium to provide a bright white finish. With daily wear or exposure to household chemicals, rhodium plating gradually will come off over time and expose the natural, yellowish-white tone of metal underneath. Many people continue to wear white gold long after the rhodium plating has worn off, but you also have the option of having your jewelry professionally replated to return it to its bright white color. Please get in touch with us for assistance with rhodium plating.
We also offer a select number of products with black rhodium plating. Black rhodium will also wear off over time and regular refinishing is recommended.
