Can yellow gold be rhodium plated?
Yellow gold can be plated with rhodium, but it's not a good idea. Here's why:Rhodium plating is usually done over white gold. This is because as the thin layer of rhodium wears away, the difference between the shiny white rhodium plate and the underlying white gold is pretty hard to see, so the white gold item won't have to be replated too frequently. Also, only a very thin layer of rhodium is necessary to cover white gold.That brings us to why plating yellow gold is problematic. Rhodium costs ten times as much as gold. Since a much thicker layer of rhodium is needed to cover yellow gold than white gold, and because the yellow gold will really show when the rhodium wears away, yellow gold will need frequent and expensive replating.If you decide to plate any gold item, make sure you go to a reputable jeweler or the results will be very poor.
What is the different in white gold and yellow gold?
Gold is naturally yellow, but for white gold it is treated with rhodium. Rhodium is a coating that gives it its white color and shine. Sometimes rhodium can wear off of a ring and you will see a yellowish color underneath. But this can be easily fixed by taking the item to a jewelry store to have it re- rhodiumed.
