In regards to my last post concerning rhodium plating over sterling silver.
What is the best material to use for the wire used to hang the jewelry on during plating? It seems that everyone has their own preference. Is there a standard?
Thank you jb
Use the recommended by the plating bath chemical company.

Everyone I’ve ever spoken to says to use gold wire. I use 14k gold wire to plate rhodium, etc.

Does the 14K wire discolour, or does it just get plated cleanly along with the item hanging on it?
