Hi guys-

I have seen in several threads where people have mentioned that palladium can have somewhat of a greyish color, moreso than platinum. Do you think the greyish tone of the metal would clash with a G, H, or I stone? Make them look warmer or yellowish? Also, if anyone has any pictures, I would be very grateful.

Thanks!
 
It will be fine. Promise. Want pics go to show me the bling. Palladium is rhodium plated so it will look like platinum. You'll be fine. Deep breath and congrats, now just pull the trigger.

Cool, glad to hear your opinion since you have palladium, right? I want to pull the trigger, but the gun's not loaded just yet. :D
 
Huh?

All Pd are Rh plated?
 
I've never heard of palladium being plated. My ering is palladium, its not plated. My side stones are H's and it looks fine with the palladium.
 
Ours was. My husband has palladium for his wedding band. Looks just like my platinum. When I asked answer was rhodium. Maybe I'm wrong. If I am, I'm sorry Siamese Kitty. I can honestly say that comparing my platinum to his paladium the difference is minute either way.


Sorry if I gave out misinformation.

Don't be sorry, I appreciate the responses! That was the other question in my head-how big the visual difference is between palladium and platinum. Glad to hear it's minimal. Thank you for your input everyone.
 
They are probably talking about WG/Pd alloy when they mentioned it is grayer, not Pd.

I ordered my wedding band in platinum. Once I get it if you still haven't bought yours I'd be happy to take pics to show any difference.
 
I have a palladium ering and I love it. Its not rhodium plated. I think some vendors offer white gold with a palladium alloy but those have to be replated with rhodium.
 
Thank you for the offer, stepcutgirl. Sure, I shall welcome any photos.:)

I really appreciate everyone's help. Thank you!
 
The difference really is minute, it will depend on your color sensitivity. You should be just fine.
