Why Can Palladium be the Best Choice for a Wedding Ring?
Wedding Rings |
Wedding
rings are the token of eternal love, care and appreciation. Expensive is not
always beautiful; rather beauty should never be judged by a price tag. We love
our partners for them for their virtues, not for the price tag they can afford.
Similarly, the tradition of offering diamond rings in weddings can be replaced
by another stunning pair of palladiumwedding rings. To seal them
eternal bond, many couples are visiting the brick and mortar jewellers or
online retailers to buy palladium wedding rings in the UK. In this blog, we will go through the modern
and popular option. i.e. palladium wedding rings!
What is Palladium?
Palladium
is a naturally occurring white precious metal, in the platinum metals group
family. It is a chemical element with the symbol 'Pd'. In 1803, a fascinating
man William Hyde Wollaston discovered Palladium. Palladium is rare, even much
rarer than gold and even platinum!
Since 1939, the Palladium started
to be used in jewellery. During the second world war, platinum was in high
demand for the war effort, and its availability decreased. So palladium rings
became a great alternative to platinum. Palladium is hypoallergenic in nature
and a great choice for those with sensitivity concerns. Palladium is much
stronger but less dense than platinum.
Why Choose Palladium Ring over the
Platinum Ring?
Yes,
platinum is a naturally white precious metal. Being in the platinum metals
group family, palladium is also naturally white precious metal. A platinum ring
will cost higher than a similarly styled palladium ring.
The
density of the metals is also a huge difference. Platinum is a very dense metal
so that a platinum wedding band will be quite heavy. On the other hand,
palladium is rather lightweight. This means that a palladium wedding band will
feel much lighter on the finger.
More
and more jewellers are bringing out lines of palladium jewellery, so the choice
in design style is growing with every season. Although palladium is rarer than
gold and market prices are still based on the cost of gold. So palladium
remains the better deal. With its lovely white metal sheen, the purity that
delivers hypoallergenic wear, the durability both of the ring body and prongs,
and the fact that it will not tarnish, buying a palladium ring for a wedding is
a perfect choice.
