Rhodium Chains

What is rhodium and why is it useful?

Rhodium is a precious metal from the platinum group, with an amazing white metallic lustre. In its pure form, it is quite rare to find in nature; most often, it is a byproduct of platinum mining.

When we talk about a rhodium plated chain, we are talking about jewelry that is made of gold, silver or other composition coated with a thin layer of rhodium. It guarantees a magnificent shine and additional solidity to the product. Its qualities are excellent:

  • Doesn't scratch.
  • Doesn't deform.
  • Retains its perfect shine.
  • Doesn't rust.
  • Has a lower price compared to white gold.

Rhodium plating is highly reflective, so if you want to buy a piece that sparkles the most, this is your choice!

Why isn't jewellery made out of rhodium? The answer is simple. Despite its exceptional strength, this metal is quite brittle. That's why jewellers use it as a coating: the optimal height for preventing cracking and preserving all of its protective qualities.

Not just white!?

You'd be surprised, but rhodium plating can be more than just white. If you add pigments to it, it can be: black, pink or yellow. They all have the same qualities as the basic version: durability and excellent reflective properties.

Chains made of this metal look great! Both men and womens will be able to appreciate them. If you are looking for an interesting gift for him, perhaps this will be just what you need. This is very shiny and reliable jewellery. You can wear the chain with hollow crosses or any other pendant. It will look stunningly beautiful. The jewellery in our catalogue comes in a variety of styles and designs. You can find on sale popular types of weaving, as well as those that have become popular not so long ago. The pictures will help you choose the best option.

Top 5 most asked questions about rhodium plated chains

  1. Is it hypoallergenic? Yes, absolutely. Rhodium does not contain nickel, which causes the most skin reactions.
  2. Is it safe for my health? Yes, it is safe. Rhodium is an absolutely safe material and non-toxic. Products with this coating are recommended as the first jewellery for babies, children and teenagers. It is also suitable for piercings.
  3. Will the piece tarnish over time? Rhodium does not tarnish or rust. Due to its physicochemical characteristics, no additives (nickel or copper) are added to the metal. It is these additives that can cause allergies and leave marks on the skin.
  4. Why was silver born? There are several reasons: beauty (silver is not as white and shiny as rhodium), durability (silver scratches quite easily) and hypoallergenic (as we know some gold or silver can cause allergies).

Rhodium Plated Chains

How long will the rhodium plating last?

On average, rhodium plating can last up to a year on a chain. This is the only disadvantage of the material. If you like bright shine and want to protect your jewellery from mechanical damage, you will have to reapply the coating from time to time.

A model of any size is offered by FJewellery. From a huge assortment, you can choose and buy both chains and other items that are available in silver and gold with and without coating: for example, bracelets (do not deny yourself the popular star of David pendants), or rings (pay attention to the original wishbone rings) and much more.
