Caring for Sterling Silver Jewelry
Rhodium on 925 sterling silver refers to a thick layer of rhodium that is electroplated onto a base of 925 sterling silver. This process creates a beautiful and durable finish with the inherent qualities of sterling silver.
They are durable and are of best value for money compared to solid gold or rhodium pieces. The 925 sterling silver base provides strength and longevity, while the outer layer of rhodium adds a lustrous and protective coating.
