Note: that should be CIE i think, I just started learning about this. ASMT, whatever.
Hey, I am trying to find the answer but I intend to finally finalize my deal tomorrow if possible. And as you will see I obviously don't know what I am talking about...
1) That is my first question--what is the CIA whiteness evaluation of Rhodium plating?
2) How about the 950 Palladium with various alloys?
3) 14 or 18k Gold/Palladium w/o rhodium?
4) 14-18k Gold/nickel w/o rhodium?
5) 950 platinum and iridium?
6) 950 platinum and other alloys?
Any of the numbers would be awesome, especially the one on rhodium!
My own personal reasons for asking though are that I am thinking of getting palladium and then having it coated in rhodium. Thus preventing any patina and overriding the slightly grayer color of palladium. I was also going to get Platinum prongs--so I guess I will have to have them plated as well? I am not sure how thick that would be, but with a .61 ct diamond in a four prong it would not be a thick enough coating of rhodium on the prongs to make the prongs any noticeably thicker to the human eye would it?
