White gold and certain silver jewellery pieces are electroplated with rhodium to achieve a brilliant, long-lasting shine. However, with frequent wear, this coating may gradually fade and require professional reapplication to restore its original luster.

Similarly, black diamonds and some colored gemstone jewelry are enhanced with a black rhodium electroplating to accentuate the depth and brilliance of the stones. Over time, this finish may wear off due to regular use and will need expert reapplication by skilled jewelers to maintain its aesthetic appeal.
