Is rhodium jewellery toxic?

Rhodium is a metal that is considered to be non-toxic. However, as with any metal, exposure to large amounts of rhodium dust or fumes can be harmful. It's important to follow proper safety guidelines when working with rhodium and to avoid inhaling any dust or fumes that may be generated during the plating process.

It's also worth noting that rhodium plating solutions and baths used in the process of rhodium plating may contain other chemicals that can be harmful if not handled properly. It's important to use these solutions and baths according to the manufacturer's instructions and to take appropriate safety precautions.

In terms of wearing rhodium plated jewellery, it's considered safe as long as it's not causing any skin irritation or allergic reactions. It's always important to make sure that the rhodium plating is done by a professional jeweller to ensure the safety and quality of the jewellery and trial the jewellery on your skin to see if there are any irritations before wearing.
