Palladium Setting Websites?

[wishinpink]

I''ve looked through tons of settings, and then I suddenly realized, I like platinum, but I sure like the palladium prices!

What are good websites to look at palladium settings?


For those curious about what type of setting I''m specifically looking for-
1. accent diamonds
2. wedding band to be able to sit flush
3. thin band
4. filigree- but not overdone, this is optional
5. tapered shank!!! ( I like how this ring has the shank tapered in-

Palladium is just now starting to catch on, I don''t think there are a lot of jewelers carrying it, yet. I can''t help you with that part, but I can tell you that it would be a good idea to make sure there is a jeweler in your area that is willing (and capable) of working on/with it. Many are not knowledgeable/comfortable with Palladium.

Lately the price of platinum is almost the same as gold per ounce. Since I learned about the kitco.com I often check the precious metal market and as of this morning the difference between gold and platinum was $100.00 an ounce. So it''s not that much when you consider they calculate jewelry prices per gram.

Some of the designers actually manufacture their products in Palladium as well as Platinum or Gold. When I purchased my Verragio engagement ring my jeweler told me that the designer started to offer three different metal choices but I went with the platinum.

I know Tacori doesn''t offer Palladium but I know Verragio and Scott Kay do, not sure about Ritani.

Lets see I believe Whiteflash is now carrying palladium, but you have to call. Ritani will also do palladium.

And I have a generic but very pretty setting for my sapphire from a company called Unique Settings of New York in Palladium. You can browse on their website but then would have to get pricing/order from a jeweler.
