Similar in color and specularity to polished hexavaent chrome, rhodium is the most tarnish resistant member of the platinum metals group. As a protective coating, rhodium finishes virtually eliminate any chance of surface discoloring even when exposed to extreme environmental conditions under normal temperatures. The surface hardness of plated rhodium is also highly resistant to incidental scratching and abrasion. In fact, with the exception of nickel plated surfaces, rhodium plated finishes are best in class for wearability among the precious metals.
As a result, rhodium's remarkable anti-tarnish characteristics have made it the ideal candidate for protecting the surface finish on white gold jewelry items, tableware, and other decorative objects. The most popular candidate for rhodium plated finishes have been objects constructed from sterling silver. Sterling silver has a tendency to quickly form surface tarnish from exposure to sulfur and other contaminants found in our normal environment. Contact with skin oils, perfumes and other common household chemicals can accelerate the rate of discoloring. Used as protective coating, a rhodium plated finish virtually eliminates the need for frequent cleaning and polishing on all sterling silver objects
