    Quite often, I use rhodium plating to help the occasional customer
    who has extremely sensitive skin, and will have allergic reactions to
    the nickel content of karat gold. Even on a yellow gold ring, I will
    rhodium plate the inside and a little of the sides-anywhere that is
    constant contact with their skin- and it almost always will remedy
    their skin rash, as a result of nickel allergy. I even do it to
    earring posts for people with this problem. I have found that people
    are willing to pay handsomely to be able to wear their jewelry
    again,after developing these problems later in life. And since the
    rhodium wears off periodically, they return again, and again, paying
    to keep their jewelry wearable. Ed
