JohnQuixote, are you out there? (Palladium inquiry)

[Brilyant]

Sorry, not sure how to private message on this site.

Do you know if Benchmark uses 950 Palladium or 75/25 gold/palladium in their rings?

If they use the latter, do you know of a company that uses 950 that I can order from?

Would there be a price difference?

Thanks!

They offer 950 Palladium and 14k/18k gold as well as platinum, tungsten and Titanium Bands.

I can''t a reference to them offering Palladium White Gold which would be 75% gold for 18k.

Hi Brilyant,

Benchmark palladium is all 950 Palladium alloyed with ruthenium. They don't offer palladium white-gold (it's common nickel wg, I believe). Palladium is offered in all settings which use platinum except for some of their channel-set bands - I know this because one of our Infinity dealers researched it recently.

If you need more specific answers you can get them at the number Neil provided, but you'll need to speak to a dealer about pricing. Hope this is helpful.

Thank you all. I wanted the 950 with Ruthenium, so that''s good news.

This will be for my wedding band - my fiancees will be in white gold.
