Rhodium-plated pendants offer a cool white, silvery tone with no golden cast. Here rhodium describes the plating and its colour, not the metal the pendant itself is made from – and it is this cool tone that sets these pendants apart from gold-coloured ones.
Colour from the plating, not the metal
Rhodium belongs to the platinum group of metals; on a pendant it is applied as a surface layer, and how long that layer lasts depends on how you wear it. Platinum-plated pendants give a similarly cool tone, while silver-tone pendants have a slightly warmer sheen.
What to pair it with
A cool-toned pendant looks better alongside other cool-toned pieces than next to gold ones, so for a matching set, try our rhodium-plated earrings. To keep the shine for longer, follow our jewellery care tips.
Frequently asked questions
Is there silver under the rhodium plating?
Not always. Plating can be applied over different base metals, whereas ‘silver’ describes the material of the piece itself, so it is worth checking the exact metal in the product description.
Is this jewellery suitable for sensitive skin?
For sensitive skin, the base metal matters more than the colour of the plating. Base metals beneath the plating include nickel-free 316L surgical steel.
