You can have it Rhodium plated. Since white gold is essentially yellow 24kt brought down to 14 kt by using white metals instead of yellow metals it will have a slight yellow tint. Periodically, it needs to be polished and Rhodium plated to give it that bright white platinum color shine. Platinum itself will dent more and scratch more because it is a moldy medal. And no, you can not plate in platinum. Visit twotonejewelryco.com if you want more info or pieces of jewelry in white gold. Jim
