Rhodium plating on white gold?

Anyone have this on their rings?  how does it come off?  i had a rumour that something in hottubs effects it?

I just had mine re-dipped (they were irritating my fingers) and it cost me $100.   Granted, they're real purty and shiny now but I'd like to put this off for a while

Re: Rhodium plating on white gold?

  • I think it wears off over time no matter what, but I would imagine chemicals like chlorine could excelerate the process.  My H got some lifetime package deal so my redipping is free.  I get it down at least once a year.  Take that chain store haters.

  • It just wears off over time I guess. I've had my e-ring done once since I've had it, wedding ring hasn't needed it yet. Only cost me like $40 though.

  • I just had this done to my ering and they said it needs to be done about once a year.  My band is from a different store than the ering and the plan covers it.  Ben Bridge plan doesn't cover it and my ering needed it after only 6 months.  I hate them.

  • I get mine cleaned and redipped annually for $40.

    Granted Joe hasn't taken it in to be done in 3 years so......yah they look like crap.

  • Cleaning products also make it fade faster.  Did you try the place you purchased it from?  Mine does it for free.
  • Cleaning and dipping for me is $15 from my local guy.  My ering band was actually my grandma's yellow gold engagement ring, so I am surprised it doesn't fade faster.

    It wears off over time.  Cleaning products, chlorine, and even sweat can make it worse.

  • Doesn't white gold = yellow gold plus a bunch of other silver-y things mixed in?  Over time the yellow gold will show more and more.  I get mine dipped once a year since it's "free."

  • Unless you're my husband, then your ring turns yellow within a month because you have caustic sweat.

  • I take mine into the city and it only costs about $10.  I used to go once every 6 months but I think based on the color of the bottom of my rings it's been waaaaaay longer than that this time.
