Description

Our G.S.P Rhodium Plating Solution contains 2 grams of rhodium per litre and is suitable for both tank plating and brush plating. The solution contains Anti-Burn Technology which means that you do not need to worry about dark marks after plating, and produces a brilliant white, very hard-wearing finish.

Rhodium is mainly used on jewellery, in particular engagement rings, wedding rings and eternity rings, and is formulated to plate more efficiently into recesses for e.g. detailing on rings, to give easier and more complete coverage than other rhodium plating solutions.

Rhodium is often referred to as white gold, although this is a misnomer. Natural white gold possesses a warmer, creamier tone, so white gold rings are plated in rhodium to achieve a much whiter finish and a crisper, signature look. This extra plating step is what leads to the common misconception.

Rhodium is one of the most valuable metals on Earth, many times more valuable than gold. Our G.S.P Rhodium Plating Solution does not need to be heated, though some people prefer to heat it to speed up the plating process. Unless you are plating over gold, white gold, or palladium, we recommend a flash-plate with our 24K Gold Solution prior to depositing rhodium, as the plate will adhere more easily.

This solution forms part of our G.S.P Home Jeweller White Gold Ring Plating Kit  (available separately), a popular choice for those wishing to re-plate and rejuvenate their white gold rings, restoring them to their former brilliance.

For optimum performance, use with our G.S.P Brush Plating Probes or 316 Stainless Steel Flat Tank Plating Anodes.

For a cheaper alternative to rhodium that brings a similar bright-white finish, please see our G.S.P Platinum Solution.

 

Please note: this solution should not be diluted, cannot be used in conjunction with any of the kits in our G.S.P Portal Range and is not suitable for pen plating.

Please ensure that your plating machine has an amp rating of 2 amps / 2000 mA or more to use this solution. Plating machines that have a lower max amp output cannot be used with this solution. Please enquire if you are unsure if your machine meets the requirements / to purchase a suitable machine.
