They accommodated my every request and were extremely knowledgeable. I visited roughly 10 different jewelers in the Rochester area in my search for the perfect engagement ring.
I was and am still fully convinced that JF Jones offers the best combination of products and services. Sara Walzer 19 Sep My father always went to JF Jones Jewelers to look for that special something for my mom. Even when I would accompany him as a child, we would each be greeted by our first names upon entering the store. They asked after each member of the family, and genuinely cared about the response. Now he is warmly greeted by name when we stop by. That means something to us.
Brittany is an absolute delight and knows our style. She keeps a "wish list" for us so we have no doubt a gift will be treasured. Our family will always support the JF Jones Jewelers family, and we thank them for all the years of service and happy memories.

Year Sterling silver is a white metal and does not need rhodium plating to acquire its color. However, it tends to tarnish over time. To prevent this, rhodium plating silver jewelry will ensure that the piece is highly lustrous and remains tarnish-free for a long time.
Over time, as the plating wears off, the white of the silver will come through, but will not be noticeable like gold. Those exposed sections may acquire some tarnish but this can easily be polished at home. Rhodium plated ring with black sapphire by Delarah. Yes, it is. This is because rhodium does not contain any allergens such as nickel. In fact if you have a piece of jewelry that is causing you skin reactions, rhodium plating the piece can eliminate this problem.
However, note that while rhodium itself will not cause any rashes, white gold often contains nickel in its alloys. As the rhodium plating wears off, you may be exposed to nickel allergies as your skin comes into contact with the original metal of the jewelry.
Rhodium is plated using an electroplating process. For a piece of jewelry to be plated, it must first be thoroughly cleaned to remove all contaminants. If there is any dirt on the piece, the plating will not hold. Distilled water, steam cleaning and electro cleaning are some ways that the item is cleaned before it is dipped into the rhodium solution.
A positive electrical charge is then used to fuse the rhodium onto the base metal. Care must be taken, because if the electric current is too high, the rhodium plating will turn black. The process takes roughly around an hour and a half to be completed. Many shoppers believe that rhodium plating is permanent.
While it is permanent, like any other metal used in jewelry, it tends to suffer wear and tear with exposure. Rhodium plating wears off over time and will need to be re-plated. Typically, a ring would need to be re-plated once every 12 to 18 months, but this can vary depending on the wear and tear the piece sustains as well as the thickness of the plating and the color of the base metal.
Sometimes the body chemistry of the wearer is also a factor that can affect how quickly the plating wears off. If the base metal is yellowish, there is a high chance that the color will bleed through before the 12 months is up. This depends on the gemstone. Some softer gemstones such as peridot , pearls, opals , topaz, turquoise, coral and treated or heavily included rubies and emeralds can be damaged during the process. These gemstones, and many others, are not able to cope with the sulfuric acids and heat in the electroplating solutions and their surfaces can be damaged, becoming spotty and studded.
