Palladium Jewelry

A platinum group metal, palladium offers many of platinum’s benefits – bright white color, purity and strength – at a more affordable price. However, palladium is neither as rare nor as dense as platinum.
 

Material

Palladium jewelry alloys are very pure. Look for “950 Palladium,” which is 95-percent pure palladium usually mixed with five-percent ruthenium, or “900 Palladium,” which is mixed with 10-percent iridium.
 

Appearance

Unlike most white gold jewelry, palladium does not require plating to maintain its lustrous white color; palladium will not tarnish. It is hypoallergenic.
