    We rhodium plate platinum jewelry so that the color is uniform
    throughout the whole piece; would anyone not rhodium plate a ring
    they have retipped using the traditional torch and white gold solder
    method since using platinum solder would require more heat than what
    stones can handle (or charging more for resetting). It is not my
    intention to sound negative or anything, this is just how we do
    things here. 

    Thanks for the suggestions Neil...I remember having rhodium plated
    tanzanite stuff before without a hitch but just wanted to know for
    sure for future reference.
