Gold Rhodium plating?

Is there any such thing as 'gold rhodium plating'? If so can anyone explain to me what this is? I only know of rhodium which is silver like.

I've never heard of exactly that term, but gold plating followed by a flash of rhodium seems pretty common as a contact surface in electronics and in jewelry. Could this be what you mean? Or maybe you are thinking of a piece of jewelry of two colors?
