Palladium is a chemical element and rare metal with a naturally white color. For nearly century it has been one of the most popular alloying metals that turn yellow gold into white gold, lending its silvery sheen to fine jewelry. In the early 21st century, however, rising gold and platinum prices shot palladium into the spotlight as a precious metal in its own right—and for good reason.
The affordability of palladium engagement rings make them a great alternative for people who want the look of platinum or white gold without the hefty price tag, but there are many other benefits to this unique precious metal. The brilliant color of palladium does not fade over time, which is one of the many ways it sets itself apart from other metals. The bright white color of palladium reflects light, so it tends to give diamonds an unparalleled sparkle and shine.
Palladium is also less dense than platinum, so many women find rings of made of palladium lightweight and more comfortable to wear. Even though it is light as a feather, palladium is surprisingly strong.
This metal is highly resistant to scratches and durable, so it can keep up with women’s active lifestyles.
Palladium is malleable as well, so designers are able to create countless intricate designs that would not work with other metals. Start your search for the perfect palladium engagement ring by taking a look at some of our favorite designs:
