Umesh,namaskar

    rhodium over silver -sure,but why? if you are strengthening it and
    already using sterling as your base metal it's a waste of rhodium
    solution in my opinion. Fine silver:unless you are making sushi
    sets, or sambar thali's in which case the rhodium or platinum would
    be fine as a protectant from high salt based sauces is equally
    unecessary..why not just plate with silver on silver to hide any
    solder seams,etc..? cheaper,same colour, and easily rationalized! 

    plating silver jewelry with gold underplate = another waste of
    solution.. Unless your BASE metal is nickle,one needs no plating over
    any of it unless it's purely asthetic,or you got a new digital plater
    and you want to play with it..again,a waste of solution,but if you
    have deep pockets plate away..but to what end???? What exactly are yo
    u trying to accomplish?
