PALLADIUM DESCRIPTION:
There has been a lot of talk about the newest metal in the wedding ring industry; palladium. “What is palladium?” is the first question that comes to mind. Most people only know of platinum, white gold, and gold as their wedding ring metal choices. Palladium is the newest white metal being used in the wedding ring industry. Its biggest selling point is that it is just as white as platinum, but its price point is comparable to 14k white gold.
What is the difference between Platinum and Palladium?
Platinum and palladium come from the same family of metals, the Platinum Group of Metals. This means both platinum and palladium share many of the same physical properties. This is why palladium looks and acts just like platinum. In fact, palladium is just as rare as platinum because palladium is only found where there are platinum deposits. This means palladium is actually more rare than gold. There are only a few mines in the world that produce palladium. Palladium is about half the weight of platinum. This means that if you have two identical rings, one made of platinum and one made of palladium, the palladium ring is half the weight. The reason palladium costs less is that there has not been as high a demand for it as there is for platinum. This will change in the future as more and more consumers become aware of palladium as a lower-cost alternative to platinum.
What is the difference between White Gold and Palladium?
Believe it or not, there is no such thing as white gold. It is really just an alloy, meaning a mixture of metals, gold, palladium, nickel, and other metals to make gold less yellow in color. After these metals are mixed together the alloy is still not completely white, so Platinum Group Metal called rhodium is used to plate the ring to make it as white as palladium. Recent technological breakthroughs in metalworking have allowed jewelry to be made out of almost pure palladium. 14k white gold rings are made of only 55% gold and 18k white gold rings are made of 75% gold. Palladium Wedding Bands are made of 95% pure palladium. The consumer gets more value by purchasing palladium rings because their price is the same as 14k white gold, but the purity level is much higher at 95%. Palladium is stronger and more scratch-resistant than white gold. There is no difference in the coloring of the scratches as there is no plating to be rubbed off creating a difference in color.
Palladium Jewelry History:
Very few people know the history of the jewelry Palladium of the ’40s and. In the 40s and 45’s after the wars, had finished the metal platinum because it used a lot to various artifacts so that those jewelers at that time decided and began to perform tests because they had not platinum and palladium that comes from the same group is also equally hard so that they realized that mixing it with white gold could soften it and quiet malleability and so to be able to make or manufacture these designs wonderful and difficult to do.
We can not determine what or the percentage of gold each piece brings or what percentage of PD, but what we do know is that if you do the test for PD it will give positive and if you do the test for gold it will also give positive low content. So you have a  piece with precious metals.
