A rare element of the light platinum group. It is found in platinum ores, and obtained free as a white inert metal which it is very difficult to fuse. Symbol Rh. Atomic weight 104.1. Specific gravity 12.
A white precious metal, extremely expensive, is often used to plate precious and base metals, giving jewelry a hard, platinum-like sheen.
A member of the platinum group of metals commonly used for plating gold, sterling and other metals. Rhodium is white and will make yellow gold white in appearance or can add a two-tone effect to a jewelry finish. Rhodium prevents tarnishing of sterling silver and adds a brighter, mirror like finish.
A hard metallic element that is one of the platinum group and is found in platinum ores; used in alloys with platinum (Rh).
non-tarnishing silver-covered finish. Often mistaken for sterling silver or chrome.
A member of the platinum group, rhodium is a shiny white metal that is highly reflective, durable, and expensive. It is often used as a hardening agent for platinum. In jewelry, it is plated on other metals to increase luster and eliminate tarnishing.
A white metal related to platinum. It is used extensively in plating because of its shine and beauty.
an expensive, non-tarnishing, precious metal that has a good white color. Rhodium is a hard metal which provides good wear-resistance and is often used in two-tone finishes.
A metal that is part of the platinum family. Silver, gold, and even base metals were often Rhodium plated during the 30â€(tm)s and 40â€(tm)s to give them the white, shiny look associated with platinum.
A metal that is part of the platinum family that is used to plate silver, gold, and even base metals. When Rhodium plated a white gold shiny look is achieved that is very hard wearing
A metal used for plating white gold or platinum. It gives the metal a whiter look. (See Frequently asked questions)
A white metal that is a member of the platinum family. Because of it's hard, reflective finish, it's often used as a plating for jewelry.
A noble metal with a whitish gray appearance. Rhodium is typically applied to metal through the electroplating process.
A platinum group metal added to pure platinum as a mild hardware and to increase high-temperature strength.
a white metal in the platinum group, that is used extensively to plate over white gold to increase its white appearance.
Hard, white metallic element used in platinum alloys.
A plating that provides excellent tarnish prevention. Its white colour and high reflectivity makes it a perfect finish over silver or nickel items to eliminate discoloration.
A white metal in the same family as silver, gold, and platinum, yet less expensive. Often used with gold in two-tone jewellery.
A metal alloy known for strength. Commonly applied as a coating to white gold to strengthen the metal and make it appear whiter.
A silvery gray metal of the platinum family. It's durability and luster make it desirable for plating costume jewelry settings.
A metal of the platinum group. Frequently used to plate silver to prevent tarnish, or to plate white gold to resemble platinum.
A silver-white noble metal in the platinum family; atomic number 45, atomic weight 102.905; used in thermocouples and, together with other platinum metals, as a catalyst in catalytic converters.
An expensive whitish-gray metallic element from the platinum family.
A white, metallic element.
metal that is part of the platinum family but is liquid in its raw natural state not not solid like platinum. Rhodium can be applied to base metals, gold, sterling silver, or some other alloy, to give it a shiny white surface like platinum. This process was popular in the 30's and 40's, is very durable, and very expensive.
