will rhodium plating cover scratches?

[glaucomflecken]

hey everyone,

yesterday i was trying to get my new 18k tennis bracelet off and I scratched one half of one prong and part of the clasp (looks like I took a brush to it, there are fine lined scratches that make it look less shiny now that elsewhere). im so bummed b/c its brand new. i doubt it could be polished since its such an awkward area.

will replating it with rhodium possibly cover up the scratches on the metal or will it just settle in the scratches and they would still be visible? i have never had anything plated so i dont know how it works or looks.



thanks!

I have had several pieces rhodium plated, but the only way to get rid of the scratches is to have them polished out, I think.
