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.


Is white gold real gold?

No, white gold is not pure gold, but it is an alloy of gold with any other metal like palladium, rhodium, etc.

What difference between white gold and platinum?

Gold and Platinum are two separate metals and elements. Platinum is always pure. White gold is gold that is alloyed (blended) with another element, usually nickel. White Gold White gold is an alloy of gold and some white metals such as silver and palladium. White gold can be 18kt, 14kt, 9kt or any karat. For example, 18kt yellow gold is made by mixing 75% gold (750 parts per thousand) with 25% (250 parts per thousand) other metals such as copper and zinc. 18kt white gold is made by mixing 75% gold with 25% other metals such as silver and palladium. So the amount of gold is the same but the alloy is different. Traditionally nickel was used in white gold, however, nickel is no longer used in most white gold made today as nickel can cause reactions with some people. We do not use nickel in our white gold When white gold rings are new they are coated with another white metal called Rhodium. Rhodium is a metal very similar to platinum and Rhodium shares many of the properties of platinum including its white color. The rhodium plating is used to make the white gold look more white. The natural color of white gold is actually a light grey color. The Rhodium is very white and very hard, but it does wear away eventually. To keep a white gold ring looking its best it should be re-rhodium plated approximately each 12 to 18 months. Most local jewelers are able to rhodium plate jewelry for a cost effective price. Platinum Platinum is a white metal, but unlike gold it is used in jewelry in almost its pure form (approximately 95% pure). Platinum is extremely long wearing and is very white, so it does not need to be Rhodium plated like white gold. Platinum is very dense (heavy), so a platinum ring will feel heavier than an 18kt gold ring.


Are there any added benefits to purchasing a rhodium or pewter necklace instead of a gold necklace?

Pewter and rhodium are resilient materials, while gold is easily breakable, and very malleable.

White Gold Vs Platinum Rings?

Recently, there has been a boom in desire to purchase white gold and platinum rings over more traditional metals such as gold and silver. You will find that, at a glance, the only difference between white gold and platinum is the price, but there are many things to consider when purchasing a ring. Here are a few facts about these two precious metals that you may want to consider before buying them; White Gold – White gold is a varied combination of gold and other metals such as Copper, Silver Palladium and Rhodium. The mixture of these metals depends on the carat of the ring. A white gold ring can be of any carat, but is more commonly 9ct, 14ct or 18ct. The Rhodium used within a white gold ring is to give it a whiter surface appearance, as the base color of white gold is naturally grey in appearance. To keep up the shiny, white appearance of white gold, it is best to have the ring re-plated with Rhodium every 12-18 months. Your local jeweler will normally be able to do this for you, or alternatively point you in the right direction of somewhere that can. This does not normally cost too much money to have done. Platinum – Platinum is a much purer metal. It is normally used with 5 percent or less additional metals when making jewelry. Platinum is also a slightly heavier metal. Your average platinum ring will normally weigh more than that of an 18ct gold ring. Platinum is also a naturally whiter metal, this means it has a more natural white appearance without the use of Rhodium. In addition the price of platinum, as a metal, is roughly double that of a white gold ring, so if you have a certain amount you would like to spend then you may be better going for a white gold ring. In conclusion, platinum and white gold are very different metals. They are fairly similar in appearance but white gold is made up of more metals, is lighter and significantly cheaper, whereas platinum is denser, more expensive and purer than white gold. In the end, it all comes down to your own personal taste in rings, but it is fair to say that whilst they can look similar at face value, they are two very different metals.


Does wearing A platinum RING with white gold RING cause problems?

The platinum ring can wear away at the white gold ring because platinum is a stronger metal than gold. Because white gold is plated with rhodium to look white, a platinum ring will wear away the plating of a white gold ring faster than usual, revealing a yellowish tint and requiring the white gold ring to be re-plated sooner and more frequently. Another thing to note is that though platinum is hypoallergenic, white gold often has nickel alloy in it, which can cause allergic reactions. Updated: I think even white gold against white gold can cause a problem. They wear away each other's rhodium even faster than usual. I would go with platinum for both -- it's more durable and it won't wear away because it's a stronger metal and doesn't scratch. (Any "scratches" aren't really scratches - they are more markings - and can be polished away.)

Can a 22 carat gold ring be dipped in platinum?

Yes, it can be done, but the more common thing is to rhodium plate it rather than platinum plate it. Rhodium is more dazzling, has more "bling", than anything else. And it's not prohibitively expensive $20 to $100 probably.


Is there such thing as white gold?

I guess technically there is only yellow gold when thinking of gold in the pure form. Alloys are mixed with yellow gold to produce white gold. Jewelry manufacturers purchase bricks of yellow gold which are 24ct. 24ct is the highest carat you can cast gold in. Any higher of a carat and the gold is too soft. The 24ct gold is then melted and turned into tiny pebbles. These pebbles are mixed with different alloys just before being cast into the jewelry mold. White gold is created by mixing nickel with yellow gold. Rose gold is created by mixing copper with yellow gold.
