FC Joias: high quality standards in rhodium plating on silver
Rhodium plating on silver is a procedure that should be done by electroplating service providers. This plating strengthens the resistance and shine of jewelry and semi-jewelry with a silver finish, a metal that is harder to preserve than rhodium, especially when it comes to natural oxidation.
At FC Joias we offer personalized service, treating each customer warmly and paying attention to their specific needs, to deliver high-standard rhodium plating on silver. All goods that arrive at our company are photographed and go through laboratory control and material checks throughout the entire process. Our professionalism and reliability are at an international level, and we serve countries on several continents: the Americas, Asia and Europe are all part of our international network of customers who order rhodium plating on silver.
Why rhodium plating on silver is useful
Jewelry is made of precious metals such as gold and silver. Semi-jewelry is made of a less noble base material and receives layers of precious metal on top. Even silver and gold, however, have limited resistance and lose their natural shine. Rhodium plating on silver is very useful because silver reacts easily with certain chemical elements, which leads to a higher level of natural oxidation. Rhodium plating on silver therefore brings many benefits:
- Rhodium withstands a wide range of environmental conditions without losing its main characteristics, while silver darkens quickly, even from contact with the sulfur in polluted air;
- Rhodium is a platinum group metal with high resistance to knocks and scratches, unlike silver, whose malleability makes it more vulnerable;
- Rhodium plating on silver also increases the shine and brightness of the silver tone, keeping the piece beautiful for much longer.
FC Joias invests in state-of-the-art technology for its production processes. Our rhodium plating on silver is carried out in laboratories equipped with the best the electroplating industry has to offer. We are an environmentally conscious company and make continuous efforts to reuse natural resources and maintain a good relationship with the community in the Limeira region through social sustainability projects.
