It sounds like something between rhodium and iridium...

Leonid, leonid!
Both are elements dear Watson.
Rhodium is a very white metal that is plated onto white gold or platinum diamond set jewellery.

I know about Rh and Ir Garry but never heard of rhidium especially "which looks like diamond" (mbn). Do you, Garry?

I think the word is rhodium - it makes the etal shiny white like a diamond in illusion settings.

I did a google search and came with one hit. An e-tailer is selling a ring with diamonds and rhidium, unfortunately there was no pic. So either it's out there or both were typo's. Who knows!

Thanks Tony,

using Google I found one Danish site, which mentions Rhidium as Rh i.e. it is Rhodim in Danish.
