Like the look of platinum wedding rings but not the price tag? You may want to consider a wedding ring crafted from palladium. Over the last few years mens palladium wedding bands have become increasingly popular for many good reasons.
There is an alternative. Palladium, a platinum group metal has emerged as the most affordable precious metal to be used in men's palladium wedding bands today. Palladium is virtually identical to platinum, which trades at over $1,400 an ounce. Both metals are naturally white, unlike white gold rings that need to be plated with rhodium to make it look white. The only difference is palladium is about half the weight of platinum. Young couples are choosing palladium rings for their wedding bands because of the price. Palladium trades at just over $300 an ounce, which makes it only a fraction of the cost of platinum or white gold rings.
Thirdly, mens palladium wedding band are hypoallergenic as they are 95% pure and do not contain any nickel. This makes them a great choice for anyone with sensitive skin or allergies to metal alloys.
In addition, palladium is extremely hard wearing and durable, which is a consideration when you are selecting a ring that you will be wearing for a lifetime. This is also something to consider when selecting an ornate setting, as the harder metals will provide a more secure setting for a longer time as they are less likely to wear.
Palladium wedding rings showcase diamonds beautifully and the color of the metal will enhance the sparkle factor of your diamond engagement ring. The metal palladium also has a lower melting point then platinum, making it more jeweler friendly when looking for ornate ring designs and settings.
Many well known jewelery houses including Verragio and Tacori will create your engagement and wedding rings in palladium. 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.
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.
