In the world of silver jewellery, two terms often surface: '925 sterling silver' and 'rhodium-plated silver.'
While both are esteemed for their beauty and durability, there are distinct advantages to choosing rhodium-plated silver over its untreated counterpart.
- Enhanced Durability:
925 sterling silver, while durable, can tarnish over time due to exposure to air and moisture.
Rhodium plating forms a protective barrier that shields the silver from these elements, prolonging its lifespan and reducing the need for frequent polishing.
- Resistance to Tarnishing:
Tarnishing is a natural process that occurs when silver interacts with sulfur in the air.
Rhodium plating prevents this interaction, keeping your jewellery looking pristine and reducing maintenance efforts.
- Luxurious Appearance:
Rhodium is a member of the platinum group of metals, known for its brilliant white shine.
When applied to silver, it enhances the metal's natural lustre, giving it a more luxurious and polished look.
- Hypoallergenic Properties:
Some individuals may experience skin irritation when wearing sterling silver, which contains copper.
Rhodium plating provides a protective barrier, making the jewellery hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin.
- Low Maintenance:
Rhodium-plated silver requires minimal maintenance compared to sterling silver.
Its resistance to tarnishing means that it retains its shine for longer periods, reducing the need for frequent cleaning.
