Type Of Plating

Rhodium Plating

What Is Rhodium?

Rhodium is ten times more expensive than gold. It is not suitable for jewellery due to the\n prohibitive processing feasibility for jewellery-making. Rhodium is very brittle and stressed and cannot be\n crafted or moulded.

What Is Rhodium Plating?

Rhodium plating is the process of coating a layer of rhodium onto the jewellery metal. Rhodium\n plating gives jewellery a high, bright, white and mirror-like finishing. Rhodium plating can be of many different\n colours like hair colour including black rhodium plating.

Gold Vs Rhodium Plating

Gold plating is mainly used when the main metal is white and needs to be transformed into a\n more yellow colour. Rhodium plating is mainly used to make white gold metal and to give it a 100% white and bright\n look.

Gold Plating

What Is Gold Plating?

It is the process of coating a thin layer of gold onto other jewellery metals. This is highly\n popular for adding colour to precious and semi-precious jewellery.

What Is Vermeil

Vermeil is a French word used for gold plated silver. Traditionally, it is called silver-gilt.\n With a thick layer of gold-coated over silver, it is very popular and ideal for jewellery. It is significantly\n less expensive than gold jewellery and can be used to protect silver from tarnishing and other reactions.

Conversion Chart For Precious Metal Weight - Weight Units\n Conversion

Precious Metal Weight Conversion Chart

Let's convert 3gms 9kt white gold weight in 18kt white gold using a conversion chart. Follow\n the below steps to convert the weight.

Step 1. Select the type of metal you prefer for your item. For example, you may choose 9ct\n white gold, which is located on the left-hand side.

Step 2. Locate the metal on the chart's top to convert weight, like 18Kt White Gold.

Step 3. Multiply the weight of the item by 1.32 (3gms we want to convert).

An item weighing 3 grams in 9 karat white gold would be equivalent to 3.96 grams (3 x 1.32 =\n 3.96g) in 18 karat white gold.
