Great question! For the most accurate results, you’ll want to use a file or another abrasive tool to carefully remove any plating-ideally in an inconspicuous spot on the piece-before testing. This ensures you’re working with the base metal directly. Hope that helps!
No, rhodium has to plate over another metal like nickel or copper. But it comes out better when the piece is polished shiny. It’s all based on ratio and the shine on whatever you’re plating is going to be the shine you get with rhodium, nickel or gold
If you have a vintage chrome-plated watch on which the plating has failed and is flaking off, can you remove the old plating and re-plate with Rhodium? No idea what metal the casing really is, sadly.
Hi Scott! Here's what our Tools Tech Team says: the short answer is yes, you can. Removing the old chrome may prove a bit challenging, but once that is complete, the main concern is getting the newly revealed surface as clean as possible. It can’t be too clean. Beyond this, the plating process should proceed as normal. Hope this helps! --Stuller Marketing
Chrome can be removed in hot caustic solution,check Google,also used for old metal bumperbars, if it is chrome then it should have copper plate under it. if nickel you are going to need a acid solution to electricaly etch it away. The shinier the undelayer the better the Rodium finish. and plate a bit longer then 30 seconds! obvious that the item has been worn in a wearing environment.
That's correct. The plating process only sticks to the metal, not to gemstones. I've had my 43 year old diamond solitaire, set in 14kt white gold replated numerous times since I first got it, and the only way the diamond has ever been affected is that it always comes back to me EXTREMELY clean and sparkling! That's because of the thorough cleaning and polishing process the entire ring is subjected to prior to it being replated. Being cleaned thoroughly in the ultrasonic cleaner removes all traces of "muck, mud, crud," and whatever else it may have been subjected to since the last time it was cleaned, (which is frequent, in my hands, as I cannot tolerate jewelry which does not shine and sparkle like the day it was first sold) and then there is also the renewed reflective surface of the metal that helps brighten up the whole thing as well. And of course, nobody would ever have their diamond jewelry replated like this if it did ANY kind of damage to the most expensive part of the piece!
OFF course it will wear out... you need the item made be in that material in oreer in not wear off, the advantage is you can polish the times you want you get always a good nice look. thast why i nevel buy electroplatted items, like gold platted, rodium plateg, galviunesed etccc...always inox, gold , silver etc,, in original materilas... electroplatted are fake stuff, soon or later they are done and ugly.
Plating costs so much because Rhodium solution actually contains micro-particulates of precious meals. The amount of rhodium solution shown in this video contains over a thousand dollars worth of gold, it's just in tiny particles waiting to be bonded to a metallic surface. Additionally, in it's liquid form rhodium is highly acidic and gives of carcinogenic vapors. What the video did not highlight is the ventilation and breathing protection aparati needed to work with rhodium SAFELY.
@@laleki9 - Plus there are things like overhead costs just in running a jewelry store, and a good portion of this involves paying people to do all the work that's needed to a piece before you can even start plating it. You don't just stick a piece of jewelry on the wire, dip it for a minute, and call it done. First it needs to be examined to be sure that there's no repair work that's required before you even start with the plating process. Plating is the absolutely last thing that should be done to a piece of jewelry, so it is extremely wasteful to plate something before it's been determined if there are say, prong tips that need to be redone first on any of the stones that might be in a piece. If you try and polish a piece thoroughly before even examining it, and there are broken/weak or even missing prong tips, you could end up sending tiny stones spinning off into space! Then you've got expensive repairs to do before you ever get around to plating anything. There's a hundred or more issues that need to be eliminated before you start in on the plating process, and a pair of well trained eyes attached to a pair of equally well trained hands don't come cheap! Materials are only part of the cost picture of paying only $40 to take good care of your jewelry.
Personally I would make sure that cook rings were stable and not wobbly. I dread to think that you would use gold plating solution containing cyanide on this set up.
Hi there! Andy The Tool Guy says: The process is rhodium not gold plating. Rhodium should be not heated and the liquid should move so you pull electrodes from the entire jar.
For things a lot of America rodeum plate it means it's electric plating it's going to fade and come off now they are making cheap gas jury low quality gold and played in it because they couldn't make it right so they had to plate it if you make your jewelry right you don't have to put a plate on it
Now that's the way to proper rhodium plate a piece! No cuttings corners. Should last 2 years with medium wear.
Thank you so much Stuller people!!! 🙏🏼💍💎⚒️
How do you test the gold if it has a rhodium plating?

Is it posible of rhodium coating on titanium metals ??

Hi. To plate with rhodium, do you need to remove the diamond first?
Samé doubt frm here....
No. The diamond will be fine.
no need......
Omg no, lol

@@Anna_Svas_Tone -- Copper?
Shari D57 yes, it’s the best wire for connecting. It’s white cause it’s been used already. Normally it’s a yellow copper color.

Can a 14K white gold watch be rhodium-plated? Maybe just dip each side in up to the watch face?
You don't have to stir the powders to dissolve, just drop it in there?
Hi there is it possible to Rhodium plate a bezel rub over Diamond ring?

hi, i would like to ask, how to make a rhodium white gold solutions? do you have a lecture video on how to do it? thanks..
What kind of wire are u using in the video and i don't think it is gold
Ohoud Gfly copper wire
it's gold, she says it's, rewind video
What would happen if rhodium was tested on a diamond selector 2?
Why would you use a Gem Tester to Test A Medal that makes no sense
it would say it's not a diamond
The liquids should be room temperature? Is it advised to heat any of the liquids? I've heard either one will work. Thanks ^-^
The only liquid you should heat is electro clean. If using silver, then use nickel.
I'dont understand why some body use amps settings and other voltage settings in tank plating
I want to buy Rhodym machine
Hi there! Please click the link in the description, which will send you to the proper page to purchase the machine. Thanks! --Stuller marketing
Do you sell the Plating equipment?
Can you plate of lab created sapphires?
You're plating the metals involved, not the stones. They are not affected by the plating process.
Pls rhodium name

If you rhodium plate yellow gold, you will turn it white. But the rhodium will wear off depending on use.
OFF course it will wear out...
you need the item made be in that material in oreer in not wear off, the advantage is you can polish the times you want you get always a good nice look.
thast why i nevel buy electroplatted items, like gold platted, rodium plateg, galviunesed etccc...always inox, gold , silver etc,, in original materilas...
electroplatted are fake stuff, soon or later they are done and ugly.
Yes
Can you rhodium plate gold plated rings and if so will the gold still rub out during regular use/time?
I home Bluetooth speaker
Very nice
I want yo 1 botal rhodium
I need serious buyer here Pretoria of rhodium
Dope 🔥🔥
What's the concentration of the initial rhodium solution?
NeZVa 100 ml + 100 ml + 700 ml water
Nice 👍
Very nice and beautiful
this is awesome...I thought they polished it like a car. I had no idea how simple it is. Now I just want to know why its 40 bucks!
