Rhodium Plating YELLOW GOLD

I would like to give my 10-year old Yellow Gold wedding ring an update and am considering having it "Rhodium Plated" to achieve a "White Gold" finish. I understand that this is a process that will have to be repeated in the future. Many people have written you to discuss their problems with White Gold. Are there any special considerations for Yellow Gold? Are there other questions I should be asking before selecting a jeweler to perform this service?

Thank you!

You might want to keep in mind that when the rhodium begins to wear off it will show the yellow gold through the plating much more than white gold will shoe through, and you will have to plate it more often.
