  • rhodium plating vs silver. the rhodium finish is going to have a darker look to it and is essentially going to be less maintenance for you to keep up with as far as cleaning it goes. it's all preference and the look you are going for. Gus villa jewelry

    Rhodium plating makes it look like quote on quote “white gold” because white gold is usually plated in rhodium

      @matthewdavis9437 Před 4 měsíci +7

      And rhodium looks like stainless steel. Which means you can get "white gold" for cheap. But a great luster and color from regular silver.
      Also: It's "quote, unquote". Not "quote on quote".

    • @BIGGBULLxxx

      If it's pure silver just use aluminum foil lined inside a bowl, add very very microwave hot water a tablespoon of salt, and a tablespoon of baking soda stir with a plastic spoon or wooden spoon and then add silver jewelry let sit for 1 to 5 minutes depending on how tarnished and dirty it is. Take it out with some plastic tongs to check on how clean it is if it's clean enough for you then rinse it off with warm water and then dry very well and once dry you can polish it or just wear it. This works so well I know because I use it on my silver. Please do not use tarnish remover chemicals because they will make the silver turn dark really fast just from the air I learned this from wearing silver in my twenties I'm now 60 years old 😵‍💫. I still like necklaces and bracelets but they don't look so good on me now because of the way I personally look but that's just my opinion. I still wear them from time to time, but thuggish drug addicts is robbing people for stainless steel jewelry and brass jewelry just to resale on the streets to get a 5 dollar high. So be careful everyone some of you may be tough but these bullets that they are shooting is tougher.

    Rhodium is a good choice, although if you can avoid sterling silver. Plating gold will ensure the plating to last. Rhodium plating on 18K white gold usually requires replating after 2 years of daily wear. Platinum plating is also valid. There are a few more plating options available.

    Hi I really want to know how does rhodium plating improves silver jewellery lasting time. I mean how long will normal silver last without tarnishing compared to rhodium plated silver. Also does rhodium plated silver looks like white gold or stainless steel?what do you think?

    • @vision821k4
      @vision821k4 Před rokem +2

      I can help you. Rhodium is going to wear out eventually. But it will last quite a while. I don't like it because it darkens natural sterling silver which I think is extremely pretty when it shines. Silver tarnishing is not a big deal, you CAN remove the tarnish, a lot of people don't seem to realize this. You can literally use mr clean magic eraser, or you could use mr wrights cream with a sponge, or even baking soda mixed with boiling water with the shiny side of aluminum foil inside a bowl or Tarn-x, which I personally think works the best AFTER scrubbing it with Wrights and the sponge it comes with. A lot of people don't even think their silver is real once it turns a little bit black, but that's the oxygen molecules attaching to it, that's normal AND you CAN remove it quite easily. I think rhodium looks closer to stainless steel, which despite people acting like it's so cheap, which it is, also looks nice and will have a nice shine to it. You can't really go wrong with ANY of them, but I vote for sterling silver WITHOUT rhodium. When I didn't understand the differences, I was like why is my chain so dark looking compared to all my other silver which shines so beautiful? It amazes me how expensive Rhodium is, I don't think it does ANYTHING to compliment sterling silver.

      You do know rhodium has gone up to over 9000 per oz since the spread of EV’s & CV-19 affecting the supply chains. There is only a limited amount of it also and it has steadily climbed for the most part and was up to $27500 per ounce during the height of the supply chain problems due to manufacturing (not the jewelry industry). They are only able to get small amounts of Rhodium that is mixed in with the platinum ore at low levels. It does look nice though on jewelry and I hope it goes down in price because I like how it makes silver not tarnish near as easily but with the cost it might become not as feasible to use it on silver jewelry & if prices skyrocket too high even gold & platinum jewelry as well. If he has the chains for a good price still that reflects it (which the cost for labor isn’t even close if you include the Rhodium costs at current market value) that Gus’s chains are prices very very good at the current market value.
