Rhodium plating is used on silver, gold and copper gives an off-white color, creating a bright mirror-like finish.

Pearls
Perhaps the best-loved gems of all time, pearls, an organic gem formed when a mollusk secretes a protective calcium carbonate based substance around an irritant, placed naturally or by man, inside the shell. The building of this protective coating, called nacre, can take 7 to 8 years. Color ranges from white to black and includes shades of pink, green and blue. Most valuable pearls are naturally produced, round, lustrous, and symmetrical. With a weak rating of 3 to 4 on the Mohs Scale, pearls must be treated kindly, avoiding contact with perfume, perspiration and hair spray, and removing pearl jewelry for strenuous activity. As June's birthstone, pearls promote good luck, love and protect children.
