RHODIUM

What is Rhodium?

Rhodium is a rare and precious element that is more expensive than gold. As a member of the platinum group of metals it is harder than gold and is highly durable Rhodium is silver in colour, highly reflective and does not tarnish or corrode.

Unfortunately, Rhodium is a brittle metal that cannot be easily shaped. Therefore jewellery cannot be made from Rhodium. When Rhodium is used to plate other jewellery, it enhances the durability of the metal.

Is rhodium plated jewellery safe to wear?

Rhodium plating is hypoallergenic. Rhodium does not contain any allergens such as nickel.
