Gypsy said:My husband is OCD about scratches on his rings. His original wedding band is a Palladium Scott Kay. He wore it only for 3 months. The light scratches and dings drove him NUTS. So I bought him a Tungsten band and the Pallaium ring sits in the jewelry box. He's much happier with the Tungsten.
I wear platinum and my platinum would drive my husband nuts as well. So... my advice is-- figure out if scratches and things are going to bother him. If so... skip the Palladium as many benches won't work on it. I have send his back to Scott Kay to get polished.

Would you choose that metal over palladium for practical reasons only or because of the look? I have seen a few pictures of wedding bands in that metal and to my eye they seems to look somewhat crude. Granted, I have seen pictures only.![]()

Maybe you were looking at some cheaper ones? My son-in-laws ring was the smoothest, most well polished ring I have ever touched. I loved the way it felt. It had weight to it but was so perfectly finished. I really wouldn't mind having one of the plain bands for myself.
The color is hard to describe but beautiful. It is shiny but definitely a more platinum gray color.

I think my SIL has the 6mm Ardent.
