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. 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 produce palladium. The only difference is 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. Very few people know the history of the jewelry palladium from the 40s and’50s but the truth is that at that time the jewelers to not being able to make jewelry with platinum by the high cost of the metal, began to develop jewelry of palladium and realized that being a metal so hard almost equal that platinum added gold , i. Allied palladium and gold and it was toward more soft and manageable in order to make these designs so spectacular that today it would be almost impossible or very expensive, One of these pieces such as long earrings for example sometimes came to need up to 4 or 5 different molds to gather and produce a single earring, obviously they were handmade, so as they made an alliance of gold and palladium to turn the metal sifter we can not determine what or the percentage of gold brings each piece 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 will also give positive low content. So you have anyway a piece with precious metals. Thanks for shopping in Lara Vintage Jewelry. We tend to sell well below the wholesale price.
