It''ll probably look pretty much the same...sometimes, the rhodium doesn''t "take" as well in little niches, like where the prongs touch the diamond, etc. but mostly, it works well.
However, rhodium plating is not a permanent solution...You''ll have to have it redone every few months, depending on wear & tear on the ring. Often, people plate their ring to see what it might look like before switching settings or as a temporary change. if you have to plate it, let''s say, 3X a year, after a few years, you''ll likely have spent enough to switch the settings.
I also don''t know how hard it is to remove/get the ring back to yellow gold finish.

Hi;
thanks for the post. I spoke to a sales person first and he gave me a price to have the ring reset, then he went and talked to the jeweler and he told me it was better to get the ring plated and that all the rings there that appeared white were yellow gold that was plated, which to me sounded untrue so I said I had to think about it. thanks
