Rhodium

Rhodium is a noble metal and a member of the platinum group. It is one of the rarest and most valuable precious metals.

Rhodium plating is a plating process used in jewelry that consists of electroplating sterling silver jewelry with rhodium to maintain or restore the jewelry's shine. This makes rhodium-plated silver a more expensive precious material than conventional sterling silver.

Sterling Silver Care and Cleaning Tips

To prevent scratches, each piece should be stored individually in its own case, pouch, or compartment.

Store sterling silver in a dry, cool place. In hot climates, it is best to keep in an air-conditioned room.

Avoid keeping jewelry boxes in bathrooms, as the moist, warm air can compromise the brilliance of your sterling.

Over time, dirt, makeup residue, and skin oils can build up on the surface of your sterling silver jewelry and gifts, causing the metal to become dull and cloudy. The best way to prevent this undesirable effect is to clean your pieces regularly.

As a general rule, the regular use of chemical liquid jewelry cleaners is discouraged, as they can result in the eventual discoloration of the metal.

The safest and most effective way to polish sterling silver is to wipe it gently with a soft cloth.
