Possibly a stupid question - Rhodium plating my class ring?

[mrswahs]

Hello!

First, before I ask my terribly stupid question, I want to thank you for humoring me.

My college ring is unplated white gold. I don't wear it because I honestly think the color of the metal is really ugly. It's not even a good alloy. It's more yellow than white. I love yellow gold, and I love the white color of rhodium plated white gold, but this inbetween is not pretty at all (to me). It's also scratched really badly all over.

I would love to start wearing it again, especially since it was so expensive, so I'm considering getting it rhodium plated. My local jeweler will do it for $40. Sooo my question is, is this a dumb idea? Will the rhodium plating look right considering the engraving of the school crest, my graduation year and major on the outside?

Thanks

You're talking microns thin so as long as your jeweler cleans the piece properly I can't see how it could negatively affect the ring. That's not a stupid question at all.
