Palladium 950 Rings It looks like platinum, it feels like platinum, its part of the platinum family and is a great alternative to platinum when it comes to jewellery. Palladium is very much on the up at the moment especially given the current price of platinum. To meet the demand The Beautiful Company has a range of palladium wedding rings and palladium diamond rings that are on offer at great prices. If you are not aware of this metal or would like to know more then read on and be convinced that Palladium 950 is a very real alternative to Platinum 950 when it comes to jewellery. Palladium the Facts Palladium is a precious metal, one of the platinum group metals (PGM), which typically are found together in ore deposits. The USA has only one primary palladium producer, the Stillwater Mining Company, which operates two mines in southern Montana. At that location, the palladium ore bearing layer called the J-M (Johns-Manville) Reef is the richest known palladium deposit currently being exploited anywhere in the world. Palladium currently trades for between quarter and a half of platinum's cost, a fact consumers have deeply appreciated buyer resistance to ever-increasing prices of gold and platinum has allowed palladium jewellery to make substantial inroads. More than a fifth of the world's net palladium supply now goes to jewellery, with most of the demand arising in China. Like platinum, palladium can be fashioned into jewellery as a stand-alone or alloyed with other metals. Palladium, for example, can be substituted for nickel in the manufacture of white gold. All our jewellery is made with Palladium 950 the standard grade for jewellery. Palladium wasn't always a poor relation, though. Palladium, in fact, actually cost more than platinum back in 2001. The technology to efficiently cast palladium as jewellery didn't exist then. With that problem now resolved, jewellery use has spiked as the price trajectories of platinum and palladium reversed.
