Handmade Palladium Rings
If white jewellery is your thing but you are tired of your traditional white gold or silver accessories, then you might want to consider acquiring for yourself a handmade palladium ring! Handmade palladium rings are brilliant, white-colored rings made from palladium metal alloys which look very similar to platinum and silver. They are made from a lighter and more durable material than other precious metals, which are perfect characteristics of high quality jewelries.
Since they are made from palladium, handmade palladium rings rarely tarnish and discolor. They do not require regular cleaning like silver and do not turn yellowish like white gold. They need no coating or plating to maintain their bright and attractive silver-white color. Handmade palladium rings can last for a lifetime and still look exactly the same as you have first bought them.
Handmade palladium rings are also lighter and more versatile. It is easier for jewelers to cast them into more complex designs and styles. Furthermore, their lighter weight makes them less expensive than their closest rival, platinum. You do not need to empty your pockets in order to get the same impact and appeal. Therefore, buying handmade palladium rings gives you more value for money compared with buying other types of metal rings.
Because of their lustrous white color, handmade palladium rings are also very ideal platforms for diamonds and other gemstones. Whether these are diamonds, sapphires, rubies, or emeralds, handmade palladium rings make these precious gems stand out without sacrificing their own beauty and splendor. They actually complement these gemstones and make your handmade palladium rings even more elegant and stunning.
Contrary to common knowledge, palladium is even rarer and more precious than the other metals. In fact, based on research, palladium is 30 times more difficult to find than gold! In every aspect, handmade palladium rings win the battle of metal rings, hands down!
Palladium has been used for jewelry making as early as the Victorian times. It received favorable feedback from the market when it posed as an alternative to platinum during World War II. Due to the difficulty of mass-producing palladium alloys specifically for wedding jewelries, palladium disappeared in the last half of the 20th century. It was not until the 1990s when platinum re-emerged and white metal jewelries regained popularity that palladium made its strong comeback. Since white gold is rarely “white” (unless coated with rhodium) and sterling silver is not as precious and durable as gold or platinum, palladium has once again became the favorite metal for white jewelry making.
