How Do You Clean Rhodium Plated Silver Jewelry?
Rhodium-plated silver jewelry needs cleaning when it begins to turn a yellow or rust color. This can be prevented by keeping the jewelry in an enclosed container or bag, but eventually the jewelry will need to be cleaned. This type of plated jewelry can be cleaned at home instead of having to bring it to a jeweler. With simple ingredients you may already have at home, you can learn how to clean your rhodium-plated silver jewelry. Mix one part detergent with three parts water in a small bowl. Immerse the piece of rhodium-plated silver jewelry into the bowl, and gently rub the piece of jewelry from one end to the other with your fingers. Rinse the jewelry under running water until the detergent residue is entirely off the jewelry. Lightly dry the jewelry with a clean towel. Allow the jewelry to air dry on the towel.
