Rhodium plating can renew the bright surface appearance of suitable jewellery, usually after appropriate cleaning and preparation.
When this repair may be needed
- White gold has developed a warmer tone
- The finish is uneven in high-contact areas
- A ring has been repaired or resized and needs refinishing
- The piece needs professional surface preparation
How the repair is assessed
Condition and surface preparation matter. Existing wear, scratches, previous plating and stone sensitivity are considered before refinishing.
What can affect the work required?
Metal type, construction, previous repairs, stone settings, wear, access to the damaged area and the finish required can all change the correct repair method. Photographs are useful for an initial assessment, but some pieces need physical inspection before a firm quotation is possible.
Care after repair
Plating is a surface finish and will wear over time. Remove jewellery for abrasive or chemical-heavy tasks where practical.
Start with an assessment
If you have a piece that may need rhodium plating, send clear photographs and describe what has happened. We will use those details to identify the most appropriate next step.
