Does my white gold need re-plating?

Everyday wear can take its toll on jewellery that cause scratches and dullness.

If you have purchased a piece of jewellery in white gold, it would more than likely be rhodium plated when new.

However, white gold does not have to be rhodium plated. Historically, white gold was plated in rhodium because the first white gold alloys were not very successful. However white gold that is now available are a lovely colour that does not have to be plated to appear white in tone. If you compare natural, non-plated white gold side by side to palladium, platinum or rhodium plated gold, you will see a difference. But individually, natural white gold will appear white. 9ct white gold has a slightly creamier, golden hue. 18ct white gold is darker, almost gunmetal in tone. Both these warm white tones can suit a lot of skin tones better than the stark, icy cool white of platinum, so it is always worth trying them all on before making your final decision on metal.

If you prefer the original brilliant white lustre of your white gold jewellery, it will need to be rhodium plated. Rhodium is a rare precious metal that does not tarnish, hence the bright white colour. It's not commonly used for solid pieces of jewellery, because it is very difficult to manufacture, but it's used for plating and detail work on other items.

The plating process involves a lot of chemical preparation, including several rinses in distilled water before placing the jewellery in a tank. Electricity runs through the tank, fusing rhodium to the surface of your item.

Aside from maintaining your item's colour, rhodium plating can help protect from scratches and dents. In addition, some individuals are highly sensitive to nickel, which is a metal used to make white gold. Rhodium is a hypoallergenic metal, so will prevent allergy reactions from occurring.

How long will rhodium plating last?

Rhodium plating usually lasts from six months to even a few years, depending on the amount of usage, the type of item, and your own lifestyle. For example, rhodium plating on rings will wear off more quickly than other items such as necklaces or earrings. This is because rings are worn on the hand, and the amount of surfaces you touch on a daily basis will rub away the plating over time.
