Surprise surprise! A lot of white gold jewellery and silver is chrome plated! Rhodium is the most expensive of the platinum group. Chrome is cheaper, so it is often used on "popularly" priced jewellery. I have heard the term "karat platinum" applied to some forms of white alloy jewellery. I have never had it explained to me in terms I understand, exactly what these alloys are. They are not platinum/palladium alloys.
