Hi everyone,
I went to my local jeweler and to design a five stone diamond band with 40 point stones, I was quoted $1650 for a platinum setting and $440 for a palladium setting. Because of the large setting, I''m inclined to go with the lighter weight palladium. And I''d rather spend the extra money on the stones than the setting.
The jeweler said palladium is making a big comeback and is every bit as good as platinum - it''s in the same metal family and is actually whiter in color than platinum.
Does anyone have any knowledge or pictures of what palladium looks like over time? Does it dull or show any other signs of wear?
Thanks in advance!
