Why Should I Rhodium Dip Silver in 2025? | ReignNYC Custom Jewelry

If you're wearing' silver jewelry, you need to understand metals and precious metals if you wanna stay shining like a star. Its not just about looking good—it's about staying on top.

So let us break it down for you on why you should rhodium dip your silver jewelry and what Rhodium is. ReignNYC Custom Jewelry is here to keep you shining brighter.

What is Rhodium, and Why Should You Care?

Back in 2021, rhodium soared to an astonishing $28,000 per ounce. Thankfully, prices have since calmed down, now sitting around $4,800 an ounce—still a major player in the precious metal world. For comparison, an ounce of gold, another highly valued precious metal, currently trades at about $2691 per ounce. That means rhodium remains almost two times pricier than gold, showcasing its exclusivity and value.

Rhodium dipping is like giving your silver jewelry a pro-level upgrade. Rhodium is a rare, precious metal from the platinum family, known for its insane shine and durability. When your silver gets rhodium dipped, it’s coated with a thin layer of rhodium to enhance its shine and protect it from tarnish.

Think of it like putting a fresh coat of armor on your jewelry—now it's game-ready, tougher, and flashier than ever before.

The Benefits of Rhodium Dipping

1. Shine Like a Champion

You ever seen a trophy underneath the bright club lights while you celebrate? That's the level of shine we're talking about. Rhodium gives your silver that ultra-bright, mirror-like finish that turns heads.

When you walk in, people will notice.

2. Tarnish? Not on My Watch!

Silver can tarnish over time. It reacts with moisture and air, leaving it dull and discolored. But with rhodium plating? It forms a protective shield, keeping silver looking sharp for the long haul.

Stay shining, stay winning.

3. Built to Last

Prime durability right here. Rhodium makes your jewelry tougher—resisting scratches and daily wear and tear.

Protection, performance, perfection.

4. Hypoallergenic Protection

Got sensitive skin? Rhodium dipping covers the base metals like nickel, making your jewelry safer for daily wear.

No irritation. Just elevation.

Do All Silver Pieces Need Rhodium Dipping?

Not every piece needs that extra armor, but let me break it down for you so you can make a prime decision:

When to Dip:

• Everyday pieces like rings and bracelets (high contact zones).

• Luxury and custom pieces you want to keep shining.

• Jewelry with sentimental or high monetary value.

• Silver and white gold jewelry

When You Might Skip:

• Rustic or intentionally aged silver designs.

• Pieces you want to naturally patina over time for a vintage look.

ReignNYC will make sure you make the right call for your jewelry game.

How Long Does Rhodium Plating Last?

Now, let’s keep it real. Rhodium plating isn’t forever and it needs maintenance. With regular wear, it lasts about 6 to 12 months before it needs a refresh. Rings and bracelets may need re-plating sooner since they take more hits.

But hey, if you're rocking custom pieces from ReignNYC, we’ve got you covered for those touch-ups too.

How to Care for Rhodium-Plated Silver Jewelry

You wouldn’t leave a Rolls Royce out in the rain, right? Treat your jewelry with the same respect:

• Gentle Cleaning: Use a soft cloth and mild soap with warm water.

• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Stay away from bleach, ammonia, and abrasive cleaners.

• Proper Storage: Keep it in a soft jewelry pouch or box when not in use.

• Take It Off: Before workouts, swimming, or heavy labor.

Take care of your shine, and it’ll take care of you.
