September 15, 2006, Newsletter Issue #146: Rhodium Plating

Tip of the Week

Next time you go shopping for sterling jewelry, ask to see pieces that are "anti-tarnish". These are pieces of silver jewelry that have been rhodium plated to retain a gleaming bright white finish. Rhodium is a very hard, very white metal that provides a superior finish to many sterling pieces. Your piece will resist scratching and look new for years to come. A fun insider tip - platinum pieces are also often Rhodium plated, so your anti-tarnish silver will have exactly the same finish as those platinum pieces costing thousands!
