White Gold Plating

I was lucky enough to visit Namibia north of South Africa on the west coast recently.  There were a couple of really good jewellery shops that drew my attention of course.  I found it interesting in one shop that the White Gold was not Rhodium plated which is the treatment used extensively to give it that shine.  With a Yellow & White Gold ring when not plated the contrast was much better and no further treatment was needed every few years.  I think this is a really good idea!
