Bharti Art Jewellers has always been enterprising and adventurous in introducing newer world class technologies in its large manufacturing facilities. Bharti has always laid great emphasis on its quality levels and thus has world class finishing processes. Each product is subjected to a number of sequenced finishing processes. Bharti is biggest of the very few Jewellers who are implementing Rhodium Plating on such a large scale at such a large variety of product segments.
Rhodium is a plating of the Platinum group and gives our Rhodium plated jewelry the look and luster of Platinum. It is almost impossible for the untrained eye to tell the difference. It is a white bright, very hard plating which provides good wearing ability. Because rhodium is almost impervious to most naturally occurring chemical compounds, the finish provides longer durability against tarnish.
The usage of rhodium plating as a bright protective finish on decorative objects has become increasingly popular with our customers. At Bharti Art Jewellers, we offer high quality Rhodium electroplated finishes for a wide array of decorative and industrial applications.
Among numerous other physical characteristics such as hardness, and high reflectivity, rhodium has an extraordinary resistance to most acids and corrosive substances. It is one of the few "white" metals that will remain bright and reflective under all atmospheric conditions at ordinary temperatures. As a result, electroplated surfaces that utilize rhodium plating remain scratch resistant, bright and attractive for years.
Among the "white" decorative plating, rhodium is considered "best in class" in terms of toughness and wear resistance. Most items plated with at least .5 microns of rhodium are usually more scratch resistant than prior to being plated! Electroplated rhodium has a hardness ranging from 400-550 Vickers, which makes it very resistant to incidental abrasions. Over sterling silver objects, rhodium plating can prevent the formation of fine scratches that occur from normal handling and cleaning.
