Rhodium Plating for Jewelry
Rhodium plating is most commonly used on white gold rings to restore their bright, white finish. Over time the rhodium layer wears away — especially on rings worn daily — and the underlying yellow gold starts to show through. Replating brings it back to its original brilliance.
Our jewelers use advanced electroplating methods to apply a thin, even layer of rhodium. Before plating, your piece is ultrasonically cleaned and polished — removing minor surface scratches for a flawless, mirror-like result. For a deeper look at how it works, when to replate, and what to expect, read our complete rhodium plating guide.
- Enhanced Durability: Protects jewelry from tarnish, scratches, and everyday wear
- Restored Appearance: Brings back original luster and brilliant white finish
- Multiple Options: Rhodium, gold, and silver plating available
- Gemstone Safe: Safe for diamonds and most gemstones — delicate stones handled with extra care
How often should you replate? For rings worn daily, rhodium plating is recommended every 6–12 months. For pieces worn occasionally, every 2–3 years is sufficient.

Jewelry Replating
Free estimate · All in-houseWhy Choose Watch Technicians for Jewelry Replating?
All replating is performed in-house at our Creve Coeur shop by our bench jewelers — never sent to an outside facility. You deal directly with the people doing the work, which means faster turnaround and direct communication throughout.
Before any plating begins, your piece is ultrasonically cleaned and inspected. Minor surface scratches are polished out so the plating goes on smoothly and evenly — leaving a mirror-like finish that lasts.
We also repair your jewelry before replating if needed. Loose prongs, worn settings, or damaged clasps should be fixed before plating so the repair doesn’t disturb the new finish. See our full jewelry repair services.

Our Jewelry Replating Process
A meticulous three-step process ensuring your jewelry receives the highest level of care and a flawless finish.
Cleaning & Preparation
Your piece is ultrasonically cleaned to remove oils, dirt, and residue. We inspect for scratches or defects and polish the surface smooth to ensure an even, flawless plating result.
Electroplating
The jewelry is placed in a rhodium solution and a controlled electrical current bonds a fine, even layer of rhodium to the surface — restoring brilliant white-metal shine with added durability.
Finishing & Inspection
Your piece is rinsed and polished to a mirror-like finish, then inspected for quality before being returned to you. Most pieces are ready within 1–3 days.
