    Hey... It would really help if you were a bit more discerning when
    you say "Daniel " as there are quite a few of us on the list who
    have that name.... and I know that a few of us made statements about
    the pro's and con's of Rhodium plating.... In my Book, Any  Plating
    should be only done with the customers full knowledge  before
    hand... and if a store sells chain that is 14k, but plated to look
    like 18k, then this should also be brought to the customers
    attention.Just my observations on this situation. Daniel Grandi
