How to care for your white gold Jewelry - Rhodium plating renewal
White gold jewelry is known for its elegant, shiny white color, achieved through rhodium plating. Without this coating, white gold has a slightly yellowish hue, regardless of the brand or quality of the gold and jewelry.
Over time, the rhodium layer can wear off due to friction, scratches, and the individual pH level of your skin. This wear can make the jewelry appear slightly yellowish. There is no fixed timeframe for when this will happen, as it varies from person to person. Factors like frequent wear, contact with chemicals, and even individual skin pH levels affect how quickly the rhodium layer wears off.

Why Is Rhodium Plating Necessary?
Rhodium is a highly valuable metal from the platinum group, known for its high reflectivity and corrosion resistance. The rhodium layer not only gives the jewelry a brilliant white shine but also protects it from scratches and wear. However, because this layer is thin, it wears off over time and needs to be regularly renewed to maintain the appearance and durability of the jewelry.
