Rhodium Plating

Rhodium plating is a process that Penner Jewellers expertly applies to enhance the durability and lustre of white gold and silver jewellery. Rhodium, a precious metal in the platinum family, is known for its exceptional brightness and resistance to corrosion. This makes it an ideal choice for plating, especially for items that are exposed to wear and tear over time.

The rhodium plating service at Penner Jewellers involves a meticulous process of cleaning

and preparing the jewellery, ensuring that the surface is free of any contaminants that could affect the adhesion of the rhodium coating. The item is then submerged in a rhodium solution and subjected to an electroplating process, which bonds a thin layer of rhodium to the base metal. This not only revitalizes the piece's appearance, making it look brand new but also provides a protective layer that resists scratches and tarnishing.

Gold Plating

Gold plating is another specialty service offered by Penner Jewellers, allowing clients to transform their jewellery pieces with the rich lustre of gold. This process can be applied to various metals, offering a cost-effective way to achieve the look of solid gold without the high price tag. Gold plating is perfect for updating old pieces or giving new life to worn-out items.

​

The gold plating process at Penner Jewellers involves similar meticulous preparation to that of rhodium plating, ensuring the metal surface is thoroughly cleaned and prepared. The item is then immersed in a gold plating solution and subjected to an electroplating process, which fuses a thin layer of gold onto the base metal. Clients can choose from different shades of gold, including yellow gold, rose gold, and white gold, to achieve their desired aesthetic.
