Question about settings-rhodium

[Rowan]

I couldn''t find the answer to this so I thought I''d ask here. If you have a setting that is two-tone, is it possible to rhodium the white gold part and not get it on the yellow gold? Not just for prongs, like on an e-ring, but if the piece itself has both colors of gold?

Rowan, it should be no problem. The yellow gold will be coated with a solution, like nail polish. When the ring is immersed only the uncovered white gold will attract the rhodium.

For anyone unfamiliar with the plating process, it's described in this thread.
