Very interesting to see the process. I had a white gold ring made about 30 years ago, and after a relatively short time hot tub chemicals were discoloring it. It was then rhodium plated, and the tub had no effect on it afterwards.
I always think it's cool the the salt of a metal is a much different color than the metal itself. You dip a gold ring into a gold solution to make it white.
My skin chemistry is such that the plating doesn’t last a year for an everyday wear, which is why I got my wedding set in palladium :) so happy with it after over 5 years now
I just had my wedding ring and some other bands replated. The wedding ring is only 2 years old and wasn't that bad at all just a slight gold color showing and only on the underside. My other rings were more yellow but over ten years old in the same area. One was missing a stone. Glad I did my wedding band even though I didn't think it really needed it at the time but it definitely looks a little better. Definitely cleaner lol.
Maybe I'm weird but I actually love the color that white gold has when it is not rhodium plated. It looks like what I imagine mithril from Lord of the Rings would look like, that white with a soft yellow glow coming out of it.
Super cool to see! I have a 1918 Edwardian yellow gold wedding/engagement ring. It was so pretty in its original state, but I wear more white gold/silver jewelry. My partner had it plated but we didn’t see the process. I didn’t realize you leave the stones on.
I would love to see a picture or a short video of your ring if you ever decide to post one! I am obsessed with that era and it's fashion including jewelry. Congratulations on your marriage xo
Ok, so you basically destroyed all historical value by altering its original design. That’s a damn shame. Besides, silver and white gold aren’t in style right now.
This was cool. My white gold wedding set was rhodium plated for shine. After our wedding we took the rings in, I think for a loose setting. My engagement ring was replated so that both rings matched in shine and color. It was suggested the rhodium could be done every year but I opted to allow them to wear evenly instead.
I work with a jewelry company that sends pieces out for repair, I've always wondered how they replate rings. I have my answer. Thanks! This was super cool!
Hello fellow jeweler. I noticed under the stone the base of the head and some of the side stone prongs had some yellow. That can be defeated. Small little brush the side stone area, for under the diamond, the ring would have to live in the ultra sonic a few days maybe even some sparex no2 acid. After that it will plate that section as well. For some reason those areas get a small thin layer of build up and grime that is there even after its been cleaned and steamed. Only things that clears is it extra cleaning.
I have had this done to multiple pieces of jewelry and love the new look. I don't wear yellow gold much anymore and had many pieces of jewelry sitting in a drawer unused. I now wear all of the pieces I had rhodium plated. You do need to know that they can only do this with hard stones. If the piece has pearl, coral, opal, etc. in it, the stone will have to be removed so it costs more.
Most opal is lab created now so it holds up just fine in the plating solution as do most stones but yes pearls do need to be removed but they’re mostly in yellow gold settings, I’m not sure about coral though
While visiting a bunch of local jewelers the past few months (trying to find the right place to get my engagement ring done) my boyfriend and I have been told multiple times that white gold isn’t really a thing and the ring with be yellow gold that is rhodium plated... How do I get a true white gold ring? Is it called something different sometimes? How do I know if a ring they show me is white gold or rhodium plated yellow gold?
The difference is the alloy thats added to it. So 14k wg has the same amount of gold as 14ky, but its the alloys that are different. Rhodium plating is a byproduct of platinum mining and is used as a coating to give it a more platinum type look.
Came here to see how this is done since I just got my white gold rings replated. Was wonder how it was done with the diamonds in the ring. So cool and interesting. Thank you!
I'm thinking of getting a few pieces rhodium plated - they're just silver that oxidizes quickly, even without wearing them and I have to clean them so often! what's your advice, will they stay cleaner and shinier for longer if I get them plated?
You have to get rhodium redipped on rings, usually once a year unless you're rough on them then probably more! This is what we recommend at the jewellery store I work at :)
Avoid chemicals and opt for a polishing cloth when you want to bring shine back to them because traditional jewlery cleaner could wear the plating quicker and also take them off when you wash your hands and sanitize and get the rhodium redone after it wears off
White gold is an alloy wich can consist of different metals. In 14K its 585 parts yellow gold and 415 parts white metals. This can be nickel or palladium. With a nickel alloy the white gold tends to look more "yellowish" while the palladium alloy looks more "greyish" nowadays the palladium alloy is more preferable because its more anti allergenic and because the greyish colour is more aesthetically pleasing
I love your videos! Saw you both on FB and found you here. I love the white gold myself on me. I looked at a lot of rings and when I saw mine in white gold I knew it was mine! My fiancé loves it too. My piercer also does the electrode plating on my titanium jewelry that I wear and I have seen it in action first time. It’s so cool!
Modern Goldsmith Maybe if chemistry lessons in school had looked more like that we’d all have had more fun! Who am I kidding, I loved chemistry with all the fizzing, burning things but there was a distinct lack of diamonds 😭😂
Hi, Jordan I have a necklace 10k yellow gold and I want to turn it white gold ? It’s possible? And if ever I want to turn back to the original yellow gold it’s possible that? And how do you think it’s cost to do it.Please let me know thanks ASAP
I have a question regarding 10k gold ring. How come it tarnishes and turns colors in places? And how do you clean it to bring back its shine? Especially in those hard to reach crevices. Thank you for sharing this video with us. Rhodium played rings last only less than a year before they need to be replated again?
I have a sliver bracelet that I cleaned in silver cleaner and it turned it gold for some reason and I cant get it to change back to silver. Can you help me with this please
Jordan, do you have any advice on cleaning jewellery at home? We are in lockdown again and “non-essential” businesses are closed ie Jewellery shops. (I am one of the people who watched your “maybe UA-cam will throw me a 🦴“ video. I loved your attitude, humour & compassion so I Liked & Subscribed 😀)
If you can dish out $100 get an ultrasonic cleaner- worth it in my opinion! Just be careful with what stones you put in there, stones like opal will crack from the heat :)
I had this done to a couple of rings about 5 years ago and now I want them back to their original yellow gold. Is this something I can do at home? The white looks really faded but not quite yellow, the rings just look bad. Thank you
I love this video - and I have a question! I have a white gold ring, but I hate white gold. I love the warmth of rose or yellow gold. Can I change a white gold ring to yellow or rose gold through electeoplating?
Can I send you my Bowl ring to have it rhodium plated? I've never liked the Gold Tone Balfour did on the ring design. Im a white gold and silver kinda guy. No one seems to wanna touch it:(
Were you ever able to contact him? He has an IG that you could send him a DM on if not. That would probably be a better way to get in contact than UA-cam. Good luck and I hope you get your ring the color you feel best in wearing it. That's what's most important, that you love it, not what others think❤
8:20 I think Rodium plating looks great with some specks of gold in the niiks and crannys. the Rodium is also worn away, so the gold will reveal at flashy areas . Nice
Jordan Thank you for this video, very helpful. I have 3 questions: do I need a wire gold to hang the ring? Do I need a titanium ring for the rhodium solution?; and can I use any metal for the electroplating cleaner? Thanks again.
I was married in 1999. Yellow was still in. But about to celebrate 22 years married and now everyone has white gold or platinum. But I love my yellow gold. But If the lady didn't want the rhodium on the yellow ring anymore could you remove it ?
I have sourced vintage and costume jewelry to the point that I must sell some now. I have large totes full-my question is how can I tell rhodium plating from something else on some of the white pieces I have? What's the easiest, most accurate way to tell? Loved your video and you do have that mesmerizing Bob Ross voice going on!
So when you make a new ring it’s in yellow gold and afterwards do the rhodium treatment for the gold to turn white? :) and I thought that a jeweller made white gold rings from scratch. Sorry for sounding totally stupid. I just didn’t know :(
Yea it is a little confusing, but I only rhodium plated a yellow gold ring to show what rhodium can do. You are absolutely correct that white gold is alloyed as white, not yellow. Rhodium is usually reserved for white gold rings to make them even more bright.
Hello, @Mordern Goldsmith How much will this setup cost me? I would like to Rhodium plate a big men's 24 inch sterling Silver 925 chain and a pair of 14k white gold earrings.
I know this is an old video, but is it normal for white gold to yellow? Is it a sign the metals were mixed or something with the body? I had to have the said ring electroplated, it lasted a month. I eventually stopped wearing it and didn't return to the chain store jeweler. [It's stamped 14k]
anthony bianconi I haven’t done much silver plating actually. I have found that sterling silver has a hard time accepting the new plating without tarnishing
nice video bro and i noticed there was yellow under diamond head ... this problem we do polish every corner properly then process to get white plating but after white plating done there is no guarantee how long will be last
Thanks ! When I first learned of this is when my wedding ring started looking yellow and I thought the jeweler sold us a fake ring when we took it back I was told they had to send it out to have it dipped in rhodium again. I was like what ! Huh? Then I learned it was real gold. Thanks for the videos!!
Yes, they can have this done to make it rose gold too. I have an 18k yellow gold ring plated with rose gold. However, the color is not as rich as a solid rose gold and the plating will eventually wear away in time.
@@mjre748 Mostly the rose color depends on solution jewler is using, only few jewelers know how to do your own solution, but its time and material consuming and this way you can just buy a bottle ready to go.
Thanks for this video. I need to get my set dipped in rodium again due to wear and tear. My question though is, can my 18k rodium plated yellow gold be converted in to yellow gold instead of white? After so many years, I realized yellow suits my skin tone better.
Yes ,there is also solution to plate yellow gold as well as rose and white. But keep in mind you have to do it once a year to keep it nice. It wears off.
I've often wondered this, but why does the rhodium not cover the stones too? Are there any gemstones that don't react well to rhodium plating or the other steps in the process?
The gemstones dont react because this is a process known as electrolysis. Basically it only works because of the electric current that goes between the conductive metal on the ring and the anode. Gemstones dont conduct electricity so they are unaffected
There's something about his voice... It just makes me so calm I could fall asleep. Great videos!
Second ring really said “this ain’t my first rhodium, cowboy!”
*I’m sorry for the lame pun*
Love it
Awesome

I am surprised this can be done without removing the stones!
Diamonds are hard and dont have pores like softer stones would so chemicals dont damage them :)
I was too, but it makes sense, because diamonds are very poor conductors, so the current wouldn't flow through them and attract the rhodium ions.
@@Yelle777
Hello, how could i plate a ring with softer stones like quartz, emerald, etc??? Could i just plate all together like diamonds?
@@69rafaroots remove or protect the stones before plating them
You can't electroplate metal onto a stone...
Interesting! I am thinking of trying this. Does it affect the stones at all?
I don't know anything about rings but i know you are doing a mesmerising job. Well done

I actually like the tiny gold specs peeking through on that yellow gold ring, but I like the combination of white and yellow gold together

They are not electric conductors so they don't get affected - it is electroplating so can only work on something which is electrified

What about when doing this on a pendant? Will it still come off in a month or a year ?
It should last a lot longer on a pendant depending of course on how often it is taken off or comes into contact with surfaces
How do you take Rhodium off a white gold ring to bring it back to its original yellow gold colour?
Can one rhodium plate silver? If so, Will it look exactly like white gold ?
Hello, @Mordern Goldsmith How much will this setup cost me? I would like to Rhodium plate a big men's 24 inch sterling Silver 925 chain and a pair of 14k white gold earrings.

Bothersome, yours is perfect!
Good luck 🍀🍀🍀☺️
The white gold looks beautiful after it’s polished and without the rhodium plating.
I know this is an old video, but is it normal for white gold to yellow? Is it a sign the metals were mixed or something with the body? I had to have the said ring electroplated, it lasted a month. I eventually stopped wearing it and didn't return to the chain store jeweler. [It's stamped 14k]
I’ve read that some people felt that this process dulls their Diamond(s).
Is this possible?
Thanks.
Great job! You still do rhodium plating?
Can it return to yellow gold again?
Very nice! Question, if you have a sterling silver chain flashed in fine silver, will that mess up the process?
anthony bianconi I haven’t done much silver plating actually. I have found that sterling silver has a hard time accepting the new plating without tarnishing
In what cases would it be better to have a ring rhodium plated? Would it also work on a silver ring?
Yes of coarse, it lays a coating on gold or silver in white, yellow or rosé
nice video bro and i noticed there was yellow under diamond head ... this problem we do polish every corner properly then process to get white plating but after white plating done there is no guarantee how long will be last
Awesome! HOW LONG WILL THE RODIUM LAST on the yellow gold ring?
Not very long at all. A few months, maybe. Selling people on the idea of rhodium on yellow as an acceptable practice is terrible customer service.
Which is more valuable white gold or yellow gold?
all gold got tha same value kt is tha only thing dat matter cus it mean ha much gold is in tha object

Yes ,there is also solution to plate yellow gold as well as rose and white. But keep in mind you have to do it once a year to keep it nice. It wears off.
can you do a video that demonstrates your solder vacuum.
Can you rhodium plate things other than metal or does it only work with metal
Electroplating only works with metal, something that is conducive!
I've often wondered this, but why does the rhodium not cover the stones too? Are there any gemstones that don't react well to rhodium plating or the other steps in the process?
The gemstones dont react because this is a process known as electrolysis. Basically it only works because of the electric current that goes between the conductive metal on the ring and the anode. Gemstones dont conduct electricity so they are unaffected
@@Stettafire That is so cool! Thank you so much!!!
How often will you have to get it re-dipped
I kinda like the hint if yellow in the nooks.
Would emerald go better with white or yellow gold?
A matter of taste, I'd say it would suit yellow just because it makes it look more autumnal
why your plating device is AC only ?
Curious question... Can you dip jewelry in platinum?
So satisfying to see how it works. Why algoritm shows me trash, i want something like this.
