Given that we now offer all of our engagement rings in precious palladium, I thought it would be appropriate to briefly outline the properties of this metal in relation to gold and platinum.
Purity
Palladium is from the same precious metal family as platinum at significantly lower prices.
Palladium is 95% pure.
White
Palladium, (unlike yellow gold which has been rhodium plated to create "white gold") is actually a naturally white metal (similar to platinum). It is hypo-allergenic, nickel free, and requires no rhodium plating.
Precious
Palladium is 30 times more rare than gold and shares the lustre of platinum (at a fraction of the price).
Strong
Palladium wears exceptionally well and does not suffer from porosity and prong failure.
