Will rhodium plated 14k and 19k gold look the same?





Hi, I was just wondering, I have a 19k white gold engagement ring and want my wedding band in 14k white gold. Would you be able to tell the difference? They are both Rhodium plated.

Thank you,

First of two simultaneous responses --

No, they are different alloys.

This might sound silly, but if they are both plated all you will see is the rhodium not the gold, so one of them could be copper and they would still look the same.
