First I want to clear the air with misconceptions. Plain Sterling Silver Finished Rings will last longer than any other Finish ontop of any ring.. Rhodium Plated is know as the cheapest and easiest finish to sell. Because of this most Rhodium rings are lower in price. Do not be fooled. rhodium tarnishes from everyday wear, unlike sterling, No matter if its a walk in the park, Rhodium will tarnish and sometimes cleaning it with the cleaner will make it worst off. I learned this the hard way. Even though these rings look stylish and really really intriguing don't loose site, even if you have to pay 10 or 20 more dolllars for a plain sterling finish. Please do, because Rhodium is not meant to last very long. My ring faded after I slept in it.. It tarnished and i couldn't clean it, not even tooth paste worked... So sad.. but true...
