    Hi, A member of the public has just approached me with a query that
    one of you, I'm sure, can answer. 

    It seems that her platinum engagement ring was re-rhodium plated and
    now her diamond looks much more yellow. 

    I would guess (from past experience) that because her ring look
    whiter and brighter, the diamond looks less so in comparison. 

    But - 

    (a) is it usual and safe practice to rhodium plate jewellery with
    the diamonds in place 

    and 

    (b) is there any possibility that colour or quality of diamonds
    could be affected (the only thing I can think of is if fissur fillers
    in diamonds were disolved out or if laser drillings were filled - any
    thoughts?) 

Thanks
Jack Ogden
