Black rhodium plating: a new market trend
At FC Joias we meet our customers' demand for jewelry, semi-jewelry and costume jewelry plating services. Our market is broad, with orders from Brazil and abroad. Our company always keeps up with global trends in the jewelry market, which is why one of our electroplating options is black rhodium plating, widely featured on runways and at fashion launch events.
Rhodium as a raw material in electroplating
Rhodium is a chemical element in the platinum group. Highly reflective, it is classified as a precious metal because of its rarity and high economic value, and also as a noble metal, since it wears less from oxidation and corrosion.
FC Joias offers rhodium plating in the two tones this metal comes in: white and black. With black rhodium plating, jewelry takes on a darker color and becomes extremely well protected against tarnish.
The beauty of black rhodium plating
Plating jewelry, semi-jewelry and costume jewelry adds durability, resistance and quality to accessories. The choice of plating also defines the color tone, which should be matched to the design of each piece. A strong trend in today's market, black rhodium plating brings the versatility of a dark tone, whether applied to the whole piece or to small details, combined with other metals such as gold and silver, or with stones and diamonds.
Black rhodium plating gives accessories a more modern look. In the fashion market, black rhodium-plated products are gaining ground for their beauty and the many combinations they allow. Their more relaxed tone makes them easy to wear in casual outfits. At the same time, the shine of the piece and the elegance of the black color make black rhodium-plated jewelry, semi-jewelry and costume jewelry a bold choice for parties and upscale events.
FC Joias also takes care of its relationship with the community and sees the preservation of natural resources as an important company responsibility. We comply with all regulations for working with metals and invest in an advanced equipment system for black rhodium plating and for treating process waste and water.
