Why has my white gold turned yellow?

The rhodium finish has worn off with daily wear. Re-plating brings the white back.

How often does it need doing?

It depends how much you wear the piece. Bring it in and we will tell you where it stands.

Can rhodium help with a metal reaction?

It can. Rhodium sits between your skin and the metal underneath and helps some people who react to other metals.

Learn about Rhodium Plating

White gold is finished with a thin layer of rhodium, and daily wear slowly takes it off, which is why an older white gold ring can start to look dull or yellow. We re-plate rings, bracelets, and other pieces at our bench to bring the bright white finish back. Rhodium also adds some scratch resistance and can help if you react to other metals. We are glad to plate jewelry no matter where you bought it.
