Novell platinum wedding bands in new advertisement.

This article was originally posted on Novell’s wedding ring blog:

Platinum Guild will soon be testing an ad that certainly does not look like a typical jewelry industry advertisement. Featuring Novell platinum wedding band styles P1695-6GC and P1800-4LC, the ad appears different from a majority of the jewelry advertising flooding the bridal market today. While wedding bands on a page with a tagline and URL can still be effective in many ways, this ad captures opinions about platinum from women who have actually planned (or are planning) a wedding. The ad does not state “platinum is the best because…,” but instead communicates more on a peer-to-peer level. Thanks to the Internet, word-of-mouth has a stronger if not final impact on purchasing decisions, and this ad certainly a big step in the right direction. Let’s face it – we consumers are exposed to more and more advertising clutter and even more mixed messages about metals used in jewelry manufacturing. Hopefully by being a little different than the rest of the pack will help PGI better “spread the word” about the benefits of platinum, which will then cause the wedding band buyer to do a little more research and be more educated about what they are purchasing.

After all, when the ice sculpture has melted, the band has packed up, the food has been digested and Uncle Al has sobered up – what’s left? Why – the wedding band.  So make this purchase count. Platinum is a metal that will hold its color and last a lifetime.

Wedding ring video featured on With This Ring.

This article was originally posted on Novell’s wedding ring blog:

With This Ring, a blog dedicated to wedding trends and suggestions, featured Novell’s video based on the “Choosing the Right Metal for Your Bridal Jewelry” brochure .

From the author:
“I know I’ve written about this before, but I feel like its worth mentioning again (and now there is a video…I am all about the visual). When we went to go pick out our wedding bands I admittedly didn’t know much at all about the differences in metal. We ultimately decided on
Platinum for me and Palladium for the boy, but going into this whole experience I had never even heard of Palladium. So, I hope this video helps you a little, or at the least gives you some ideas by looking at all the different pics of jewelry!”

The May/June 2008 issue of JQ Magazine featured a quote about palladium from Novell owner Bruce Pucciarello (on page 46).

“Palladium makes sense…a big plus is that palladium satisfies customers who are upset that their white gold rings turn pale yellow, making it a natural choice for bridal products.”
