What is Rhodium and Rhodium finish?
A. Rhodium is a metal that is a member of the platinum family. In its natural state Rhodium is found to be liquid, not solid like platinum. In its liquid state Rhodium can be applied to gold, sterling silver, base metals or other alloys to give it the shiny white surface of platinum but at a fraction of the cost. The rhodium coats the silver to enhance shine and durability. This metal top layer is usually applied using a process known as electroplating.
