De-rhodium

My white gold promise ring was a nice light tinge of yellow, but when I had it re-sized, it was covered with Rhodium. I absolutely detest the look of Rhodium, and I would like it off ASAP. How can I get it off without harming the ring and the diamond?

Loan it to one of the women from letter 1237--they'll wear off all of the rhodium plating in a week :-)

Seriously, a jeweler can polish it off, although it's tedious.
