Hi all,
Unfortunately, the ONLY ring I love happens to be from the Ritani endless love collection. Ritani makes all of their rings in white gold (plated with rhodium), platinum (950 cobalt) and palladium (950 ruthenium) - and I've decided on palladium, for many reasons. [Among them: I don't want white gold because I don't like the thought of needing to get it replated (or the subtle/potential toxicity of rhodium), and I don't want the slightly magnetic factor of the platinum/cobalt mix.] So that leaves palladium, which I have researched and am happy with.
However - I was ALSO under the understanding that palladium was much less expensive than platinum. I thought it might be a little bit more than white gold. But my boyfriend and I got a bit of a shock when the salesperson we've been working with (at an authorized Ritani retailer) told us the palladium ring would actually be about the same as platinum.
So my question: is this correct? (Ritani won't give out any prices or ranges - they say I must get that info from a retailer.) When I check metal investing sites, I find that palladium is currently priced as about one-third of what platinum is. I can't find any other recent posts about Ritani rings in Palladium, so I'm hoping some of you can share some insight.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
