Diamond cutters and diamond ring manufacturers use rhodium plating to boost the durability, strength, and bright appeal of white gold, platinum, and silver diamond rings. Yet one of the major downfalls of rhodium plating diamond silver rings is that the plating on these rings will gradually wear off. Still, if you buy a silver diamond ring with the perfect thickness for plating, then you might be able to avoid constant re-plating and the discoloration of the diamond ring.
