Brighten up your white gold items with a rhodium plate bath. Rhodium is an element and noble metal, in the same category as platinum. It has a unique and attractive bright white sheen and is applied over white gold to approve its appearance. It should be re-applied annually. Following a full restoration treatment (see above) your ring has a rhodium coating of (minimum) 4 microns applied.

My initial enquiry about the possibility of restoring my grandmothers ring as it was in its former life (90 years), turned out to be a stroke of good fortune for me.
The altering of a ring design can be emotional and overwhelming but front of house maestro Lesleigh took the time to present options, offer possibilities and share ring designs.
The completion of this ring restoration was far beyond my expectations . One word...breathtaking.
Consultation, design process and creation were seamless from beginning to end.
I cannot speak more highly of the outcome or of Sunstate Jewellers.

Absolutely delighted with my unique ring make. Lesleigh, Rita & the team at Sunstate all helped to make the whole process as easy and cost effective as possible. At no time was I left wondering just what the end result would look like and I can honestly say the finished ring looks even better than I could have ever imagined! My sincere thanks and appreciation. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sunstate for any jewellery needs.

Sunstate recently repaired a ruby and diamond ring which was missing a diamond and did an excellent job. They also redesigned and produced a tri-colour gold ring for me that incorporates rubies and diamonds from 3 existing rings. I am absolutely thrilled with the result and thoroughly recommend their work. I found the staff helpful and always responsive to my enquiries throughout the process.

My diamond popped out of my tension set engagement ring. I previously had my ring appraised by Sunstate. Because of the value of my ring and the nature of the setting this was the only place I trusted to do it right. They repaired it, and gave it a clean and polish. They gave my ring the attention it deserves.
