OhioBeads.com: New 100% Rhodium Plated Chains

OhioBeads.com: New 100% Rhodium Plated Chains

I was inspired to put together a bracelet with our new 100% Pure Rhodium Plated Chain and new Gunmetal Caps along with some crystal and pearl beads.

The gunmetal accent colors mix nicely with the Rhodium shine.  The swivel lobster claw adds so much comfort because the base of the claw rotates separately from the body of the claw.

Why you might like Rhodium Plated Chains

Rhodium is a silvery-white elemental metal that is one of the Platinum Group Metals (PGM) along with Platinum, Palladium, Ruthenium, Osmium and Iridium.  One of the rarest of precious metals, Rhodium currently sells at US$2080 per ounce.

In jewelry, Rhodium is often applied over sterling silver to prevent tarnishing or applied over white gold to improve the shine.

Rhodium is corrosion- and heat-resistant, malleable, durable and nonporous, making the metal hypoallergenic for most people.

Rhodium is not the same as Imitation Rhodium, which is a bright tin alloy, nor is it unrefined platinum.

For the new Rhodium Plated Chains at OhioBeads.com, we use 100% Rhodium plated over brass chain, yielding a jewelry chain that is pretty, durable and affordable.
