The plating will wear off over time to reveal the natural more yellowy coloured white gold underneath. For a small charge the rhodium plating can be reapplied by us or any jeweller.

Palladium

Similar to platinum in appearance though much less expensive! It is much less dense than platinum though, so it feels lighter on the hand - if you are looking for a chunky ring in platinum it will feel quite solid on the hand - if it was in palladium it would feel less dense. At the moment, the Assay Office doesn't hallmark palladium - only gold, silver and platinum - but apparently they have started a discussion about adding it to the list. We're expecting them to come to a decision early this year. In the mean time the palladium we're using is stamped by our suppliers.
