Rhodium plating may be done by two ways.

1) Rhodium pen plating.
2) Rhodium dip (bath) plating.

You can more information about both these processes, equipments and supplies from the following companies.

Hi, Doc.

The cost of precious metals is volatile, but rhodium is the most expensive of them all. At as much as $12,000 per ounce recently, it can be an expensive learning experience. You might consider getting in some experience with a less expensive metal first. Good luck.

Hi, Youssef. Rhodium is applied by electroplating, either with a brush plating unit, or a very small tank plating unit. It is used on silver jewelry primarily to make it tarnish resistant. It is used on white gold to give it brilliance. Try to avoid rhodium plating yellow gold; the rhodium is too thin to sustain much wear and the contrast when it does wear will be unacceptable.
