Palladium jewelry
Palladium Jewelry continues to gain in popularity around the world. It's light weight and luster is transforming it into the metal of choice for new wedding bands and unique custom pieces. Palladium jewelery was hard to find just a few years ago and is now enjoying mainstream status in the jewelery industry. It is time to start looking at what is the now metal!
Palladium versus other jewelry metals
Alone or alloyed with silver or gold, palladium offers some
of the same metal working properties as other jewelry metals,
and remains tarnish free. It also offers jewelers a sharply
different pricing point than either gold, white gold or
platinum. It is more precious than silver and whiter than
platinum. Because
it is also lighter than platinum, nearly half the weight,
more intricate necklaces and bracelets can be made capable
of bearing larger gemstones with no gain in overall weight.
For the same reason, Palladium can be an especially good
choice in earrings. With the price of platinum and gold
reaching recent highs, use of palladium for jewelry has
seen renewed interest domestically and abroad. Palladium
is an excellent material for electroplating, and sees significant
use in the plating of jewelry and watches, such as the timepiece
here from Ulysse Nardin, Le Locle, Switzerland.
Palladium Alliance International
