G.S.P Rhodium Plating Solution
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. It 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 something of a misnomer. White gold rings are often plated in rhodium because rhodium has a much whiter finish, which leads to this 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 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.

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.
