Shine and durability for your jewelry
Silver is a precious metal valued for its elegance and versatility. However, pure silver (99.9%) is too soft for jewelry making. This is why jewelers typically use 925 silver, an alloy made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper.
If you love the shine of silver, you may have already heard of rhodium-plated 925 silver. But what exactly is it and what are its benefits?
What is rhodium-plated 925 silver?
Rhodium-plated 925 silver is simply 925 silver that has been coated with a thin layer of rhodium, a precious metal from the platinum family. Rhodium is known for its shine and tarnish resistance, making it an ideal choice for protecting silver and giving it a long-lasting shine.
Why choose rhodium-plated 925 silver?
Here are some of the benefits of rhodium-plated 925 silver:
- Luster and shine: Rhodium gives silver an incomparable luster and shine that lasts over time.
- Tarnish Resistance: Silver is naturally susceptible to tarnishing when exposed to air and other atmospheric agents. Rhodium protects silver from this tarnish, allowing it to maintain its shine for years.
- Durability: Rhodium is a very hard and scratch-resistant metal, making rhodium-plated 925 silver jewelry more durable and less likely to bend or break.
- Hypoallergenic: Rhodium is a hypoallergenic metal, meaning it is less likely to cause allergic reactions than other metals. This is a great option for people with sensitive skin.
- Chic and modern appearance: Rhodium-plated 925 silver offers a chic and modern look that goes perfectly with all styles.
Is rhodium-plated 925 silver right for you?
If you are looking for silver jewelry that retains its shine and beauty for years, rhodium-plated 925 silver is an excellent choice. It is particularly well suited to jewelry that you wear frequently, such as rings, bracelets and necklaces.
Rhodium-plated 925 silver is a little more expensive than non-rhodium-plated silver, but its long-lasting shine and tarnish resistance make it a wise investment.
