    The most common use for rhodium plating is of the white gold center
    setting in bridal jewelry in gold (10 or 14k). White gold solitaires
    would be totally plated and it would take many years for this
    plating to wear off. Rhodium plating is frequently used as an
    enhancement feature in jewelry where melee are incorporated into the
    design. You most frequently find this application in promotionally
    priced merchandise. Rhodium does not flake off, it wears away over
    time. The best way to replate an item is to remove what exists of
    old plating by polishing (buffing) it off and reapplying.
