Hello,

I am in the jewellery manufacturing industry and I would like to know what is the most effective technique and solution for rhodium plating jewellery? Specifically, if anyone has knowledge about the techniques used in China?

Thanks,
Puja

I seriously doubt that there is any "standard" technique and standard brand of rhodium plating solution used in China, Puja. Can you please be a little bit less vague about what you are seeking? Are you trying to find a cheaper brand of plating solution? Have you seen a particular article made in China that you are trying to duplicate? Are you encountering spots or discoloration and feel that your Chinese competitors are not? It is easy to conjecture that there are "magic bullets", but usually there aren't and it's more about sweating the details. Please get back to us with more specifics. Thanks.

Hi There,

I believe you want to know about the chinese jewelleries looks like Rodium plated and prices are cheap, the cheap jewelleries ar platd with either white bronze or Palladium flash, and the raw jewelley itself is of good finish and the polishing method is also excellent.
