Plating is for walk in clients only in our Ventura, CA store.
Fox Fine Jewelry does custom recreations in different metal colors for clients across the country; prices begin at $1,500.
There are two ways to make your yellow gold jewelry look white: Plating and Recreation.
Plating jewelry
We can rhodium plate your yellow gold jewelry, which makes it look bright white. Rhodium plating starts at $72.
Pros: It's inexpensive and fast (typically 1-2 weeks).
Cons: It's temporary, especially for everyday rings.
We recommend rhodium plating yellow gold jewelry if:
- You wear it infrequently.
- It's a pendant or earrings (they receive minimal contact; plating lasts much longer).
- You don't want to invest in the recreation of your jewelry in white metal.
Remake your jewelry in white gold or platinum
We can create a replica of your jewelry in white gold, including setting your original diamonds and gemstones into the replica.
Pros:
- It's a permanent change in metal color.
- You can made design changes.
- Your jewelry will be well made, in brand new condition.
Cons: It's more expensive and takes about eight weeks.
Remaking your jewelry in the metal color you want is the only permanent solution to change the metal color. If it's a piece you love or it's sentimental, consider recreation.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"My ring needed to be completely remade in a new setting as the original setting was damaged beyond repair. I was worried as I really loved and was attached to my original ring. They promised the remake would be identical and they were right! I was so excited to see that they had successfully remade the ring I originally fell in love with."

Alternative option
A third option is to remove your diamonds or gemstones and reset them into something you'll love to wear. We can give you a credit for the old metal, too!
