rhodium-plated pure silver? ( jewelry trade)?
I know that rhodium plating is very important for jewelry (I have limited knowledge of the jewelry trade, but ill try to explain what I know so far). I hear that pure silver is the more inferior of the precious metals partly due to the fact that it cannot be effectively rhodium plated. I’m assuming that sterling silver can be rhodium plated because it is not pure silver but a mixture of many other metals. Because pure silver cannot be rhodium plated it is not worth as much as gold and platinum on the market. Currently pure silver is worth $15.00 per oz., while pure Gold is worth $800.00 per oz. and pure platinum is worth $1400.00 per oz. (A lot of this is due to the fact that Gold and platinum can be rhodium plated) If what is stated above is true, what do you think pure silver would be worth on the market if somehow it could be successfully rhodium plated?
Market price of precious metals is determined by its rarity, other properties like mechanical, electrical, etc., and by tendencies of the stock exchange trade. For example, if a bio-tech company comes up with a drug that cures cancer and is based on Silver, its price will most probably go up.
The reason pure silver is not used widely in the jewelry industry is its mechanical properties. It is too soft. See: http://sarit-jewelry.com/Info.html
Sterling silver is not a "mixture of many other metals". It is 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. Again, see the above link.
Pure silver does not tarnish. It is the copper inside the sterling silver alloy.
