| Why
Rhodium instead of silver?
Rhodium is from the
platinum family of metals and is extremely durable, valuable
and...expensive; about six times the price of gold.
We prefer this finish for
it's natural beauty and because rhodium does not tarnish. This is a very
important consideration when choosing metal finishes, especially for
rhinestone mountings. Once a silver headpiece is tarnished, it is nearly
impossible to restore it to brand new sparkling condition, so rhodium is
definitely the better choice. |
