Facelift For White Gold?

By: Kelly York

We were so appreciative to receive a comment yesterday from one of our clients and facebook fans regarding how her wedding rings look like new after taking advantage of our Rhodium Plating Service at Ben David Jewelers.  This wonderful feedback made us realize that we probably haven't talked about the benefits of this service enough.  So, we wanted to take a few minutes to let all of you know how easy and affordable it is to give your white gold rings a "facelift." What is Rhodium? Rhodium is a silvery metal that is a member of the Platinum family.  It is a very durable metal that has a high reflectance, which makes it the perfect choice to coat worn or dull white gold jewelry. What are the benefits of the Ben David Jewelers Rhodium Plating Service?
  • Rings will look brand new, with an added brilliance
  • The process is safe and easy - diamonds are not impacted or coated in any way
  • It is affordable - a typical ring can be rhodium-plated for $35
  • It is quick - you have your rings back in a matter of days
What our client had to say: "Thank you so much to Mark David and the Ben David Jewelers repair department for your help making my engagement and wedding rings look like new again! Because of your suggestion to Rhodium plate my rings, I have had so many compliments on how brilliant they look and a friend of mine even pulled my hand across the table at lunch to ask if I had gotten new rings. They look better than ever, and as an added bonus, I am no longer having an allergic reaction to the metal in my rings. Because of you, I'm wearing my rings again and am so proud to show them off! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Fun Fact About Rhodium: Rhodium has also been used for honors, or to symbolize wealth, when more commonly used metals such as silver, gold or platinum are deemed insufficient. In 1979, the Guinness Book of World Records gave Paul McCartney a rhodium-plated disc for being history's all-time best-selling songwriter and recording artist.
