What is Palladium Jewelry?

What is a Palladium Jewelry

Palladium Jewelry has been gaining popularity among jewelry designers for quite some time now. It is also a popular choice for people who are looking for a jewelry that is similar to a platinum, but more affordable. Before you go out and buy a palladium piece for yourself, read this first to learn more about palladium jewelry.

What is Palladium?

Palladium is a rare and lustrous metal that is part of the platinum metal group. Together with iridium, osmium, platinum, rhodium, and ruthenium, they are also known as the “Noble Metals”. Discovered by William Hyde Wollaston in 1803, it was said to be named after the asteroid Pallas. Palladium has the same silvery-white tone, purity, and luster as a platinum, but it is less dense which makes this metal more affordable. It can be found in Africa, Australia, Canada, South and North America.

Reasons to get Palladium Jewelry

It is hypoallergenic. People who have sensitive skin and are prone to allergy due to nickel have found the perfect metal for their jewelry in the form of palladium. Since the palladium has a natural white-silvery appearance, there is no need to mix nickel to get that beautiful white brilliant appearance that most people love in jewelry. You are sure that this will stay with you for a long time and not bother more sensitive skins.

Just because palladium jewelry is low-maintenance, doesn't mean that you shouldn't take care of it. The best way to maintain the palladium’s natural brilliance and luster is to use a mild soap and warm water when cleaning it. Use a soft-bristled brush or a cloth and gently scrub your jewelry. Simple as that.

It is an affordable alternative to a platinum. Palladium metal has the same characteristics as platinum (it is also 95% pure metal just like a platinum), but since it is less dense and is lighter, it is less expensive. You will be able to get more for your money and buy more elaborate palladium jewelry pieces than you would with platinum. 



































































































































































It is a tough and durable metal.Since palladium has a low density (meaning it is lighter than other metals), you will have the option to wear bigger and more elaborate palladium jewelry designs with ease. It won’t be uncomfortable to wear unlike other jewelry pieces made out of other metals that weigh a ton. It is also more malleable than the other metals. This unique characteristic of palladium metal makes it a jewelry designer favorite because it enables them to make beautiful, intricate designs. This also gives them the option to add gemstones like diamonds and the like.


































































































































































It is low maintenance.A palladium metal is naturally white, having no need for expensive maintenance just to keep its brilliance. Unlike other jewelry, palladium jewelry is also less likely to tarnish. Palladium metals do not need plating for protection. It will remain its natural color for as long as you own it. No need to go back and forth the jewelry store just to have it cleaned. Getting palladium jewelry will help you save time, effort and money.

Will Blockchain Be a Boon to the Jewelry Industry?

LONDON — For gem specialists, merchants and gatherers alike, the absolute greatest difficulties are the equivalent — and very natural: How would one be able to ensure the moral provenance of a jewel or valuable stone? Guarantee it is genuine and not phony? How might one secure and track the development of a gem inside a divided and murky store network? What's more, how might one validate responsibility for piece if that is raised doubt about? Various gems industry heavyweights have as of late embraced circulated record innovation, an umbrella term for a mutual and synchronized database, to record such data. What's more, excited defenders of blockchain, the basic framework, say the innovation could be a conceivable — and progressive — check arrangement, albeit one still in its outset. Blockchain, which has been utilized since 2009 to support the digital currency Bitcoin, enables an exchange to be recorded forever on a database shared among PCs without depending on an o

Enamored with Enamel Jewelry

What do you think of enamel jewelry? Personally, until a couple years ago, I hadn’t given it much thought. But with its resurgence in popularity, I’m becoming a big fan!! Certainly enamel is nothing new, as it dates back to the 13th Century BC! (If you want to read more about the history, Lang Antiques has an amazing article about enamel jewelry.) Basically enamel is when a certain type of glass, called an allochromatic, is fused to the metal below. You may be familiar with Closionee and Champleve, which are two popular types of enamel. Today, some jewelers are really taking this tricky technique to new heights, mixing enamel with jewels and themes that really make what’s old new again. Foundrae is one company that really has melded enamel, gold and meaningful talismans together. Here’s their Dark Blossom cuff.   Erica Molinari combines my love of momento mori and enamel in a new type of heirloom ring.  Brooke Gregson adds a whole new dimension to enamel work

From ultra-glam to sophisticated simplicity: How to choose just the right jewelry for a sexy, strapless dress. You’ve found the perfect dress: a gorgeous, strapless number that complements your figure and makes you feel more than a bit glamorous. You even have the shoes. But, like many (all) of us who don’t have a personal stylist to add that je ne sais quoi touch to make an outfit really spectacular, you may be wavering on what jewelry to wear. Don’t fret. By following a few simple guidelines, you’ll be sure to accessorize your bombshell dress with just the right jewelry pieces. Be dramatic A strapless dress is all about drama. A good rule of thumb is to select jewelry that doesn’t compete with that drama; rather, it enhances it. Choosing one statement piece as a focal point — like a jeweled necklace, elaborate chandelier earrings or a bold bracelet — is a nearly fail-safe way to go. With necklaces, you’ll want to consider what looks good with your dress’s neckline
