What Do You Know About Palladium?

Novell palladium wedding bands

Novell’s American-created wedding bands can be made in platinum, palladium or gold. Just ask your local retailer!

Just about ten years ago, Novell Design Studio started offering palladium as an option for our precious metal wedding bands. Not all manufacturers or jewelers work with palladium well, but we’ve been very successful utilizing it. Surprisingly, its popularity has had highs and lows. It really is a great choice for your wedding band when platinum is not an option, but has yet to catch on among the brides and grooms-to-be. At bridal jewelry events all across the country, consumers do ask about this white metal. However, most choose white gold even though palladium may be the better selection.

If you haven’t heard of palladium, here are some basic facts:

  • Palladium is a precious metal, so it can be resized and refinished. Alternative metals such as titanium or tungsten cannot be sized.
  • Palladium is part of the Platinum Group Metals family.
  • Palladium is naturally white. Keep in mind that white gold is not, and may turn yellow over time.
  • Palladium is hypoallergenic.
  • Although similar looking to platinum, palladium is not as dense.
  • Platinum is the superior metal for bridal jewelry. Palladium is a good choice if platinum is not an option due to its price.

Wedding bands and rings by Novell.

Debuting at the 2010 JCK Show in Las Vegas – Novell’s TATU wedding bands.

As featured on TransWorldNews.com:

The future for wedding bands will arrive at this year’s JCK Show in Las Vegas!  Novell  will be unveiling a very original concept for wedding bands and jewelry in general – designs inspired from actual tattoo themes. Rings in the new TATU Collection are created in stainless steel or palladium, and a select few have been fashioned especially in platinum. Additional wedding band styles produced with sterling silver and black diamonds will also be available. TATU wedding bands will be offered through authorized Novell retailers over the summer.

The JCK Show is a jewelry industry-only event that will take place June 4 through June 7. Jewelry industry professionals can visit Novell at booth 5081. View other wedding bands and bridal jewelry that Novell will be featuring at the 2010 JCK Show in Las Vegas.


Video shows that tungsten wedding bands can not be sized.

Have you been looking into choosing tungsten for your wedding band? Well, if you are, then you might wish to take a look at this demonstration video.

The  video illustrates that precious metals will indeed bend. Therefore, should you need you ring resized down the road, then this can be accomplished. And let’s face it – most Americans tend to gain or lose weight over their lifetime, and some may fluctuate quite a bit. So if you like to remove your wedding band but gain a few pounds over time, a precious metal wedding band can be adjusted. And precious metals can be refinished to look close to new as well.

Tungsten can not bend, although it can shatter. You can not size your tungsten wedding band. This is such a shame due to the fact that history shows that trends change quite a bit in the jewelry industry, and the manufacturer of the tungsten wedding band that you purchased may or may not be around in five or ten years. The same goes for any online wedding band website that may have sold you the ring. You should ask yourself a simple question – who will honor their exchange policy (if they have one) should I need a new tungsten wedding band in the future?

Wedding bands are symbolic of love that should last forever. And shouldn’t you be able to keep that original symbol of your love on your finger forever? A lot of consumers choose to upgrade their wedding bands over time, but many decide to keep their original wedding band on their hand for as long as possible. So protect your wedding band investment, and perhaps choose one created with a precious metal. After all, love is precious, and so should wedding band.

If price is really an issue during this tough economic time, then you may wish to consider palladium for your wedding band. Palladium is a naturally white metal that currently costs much less than white gold. While platinum is the premium metal for jewelry, palladium is a strong choice if platinum is not an option.

Should the relative price point of a tungsten wedding band be attractive, then why not consider Argentium Sterling Silver? Argentium Sterling Silver is easy to care for and does not tarnish easily. It is an attractive – if not somewhat new – option for your wedding band when looking for something that costs even less than palladium, but might be priced similar to the tungsten wedding bands seen on many popular websites (starting at $149.00). Spending a little more now is definitely beneficial over the long haul.

Brand new palladium wedding bands.

Palladium_rings_by_Novell

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

See ’em before anyone else! Here are some brand new palladium styles from Novell. These rings are so brand spankin’ new that they are not even on our official website yet.

Interested in pricing and manufacturing options? Please visit Novell’s retailer locator to find the authorized retailer in your area.

Why palladium?
Palladium is a white precious metal that is a member of the family of the platinum group metals. It is mined in some of the same places as platinum and shares similar scientific qualities with the other metals in this group. It stays white, is durable, and as time goes on, even more new jewelry applications for this metal are inevitable. Yet, the most exciting thing about palladium is that it is precious and pure, so you can make an apple to apple comparison of its relation to platinum. Bridal jewelry created from palladium will stand the test of time. For more information about the metal, please visit http://www.novelldesignstudio.com/palladium.html.

Here are some additional palladium facts to help you make up your mind:

– Palladium is one of the earth’s great white precious metals.
– Palladium jewelry offers some of the finer qualities of platinum but currently costs less. It even costs less than gold.
– While platinum will always remain the hallmark for white metal jewelry, palladium is a close relative that can step in and get the job done.
– Palladium is hypo-allergenic.
– Palladium is naturally white, so rhodium plating is not necessary.
– Palladium is durable, so wedding rings made of palladium will stand the test of time.
– Palladium’s purity and preciousness make it an extremely attractive value when compared to the lesser non-precious jewelry metals, like titanium and tungsten.

The Palladium Alliance website.

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

Palladium Alliance International really stepped up palladium’s overall visibility in a variety of ways – product placement (as seen in the movie Iron Man), a broader advertising campaign, public relations, and now a website redesign and re-launch. Novell has been offering palladium as an option for our wedding bands for over three years now, and there still is a lot of confusion for both consumers and retailers. In fact, some Novell retailers seem reluctant to touch palladium regardless of the metal’s price point and benefits. Hopefully, PAI’s more visible initiatives will be the missing ingredient to help properly educate and pique the public’s interest. The new website, www.luxurypalladium.com,  featured Novell palladium styles L8048-6GC, L8050-6GC, L8051-6GC and L8055-6GC.

From www.luxurypalladium.com:

Palladium Alliance International (PAI) announces the launch of its redesigned trade website, www.luxurypalladium.com. The site provides visitors with fresh content such as downloadable bench manuals and videos for those working in Palladium – The Now Metal™.
