Quick Question about to order :) Pallidium okay?

[dudeinlove]

So, I have blown the budget on my stone... which I know is a good thing

I can save 1000K on her setting and 500 on her wedding band if I get a palladium vs platinum.

This will allow me to get a MUCH nicer stone. Thoughts? Good choice?

Palladium feels very lightweight while platinum has a lot of heft.
Palladium turns into a very dark gray over time while platinum is a lighter gray over time. I find that palladium shows patina sooner than platinum though.

Palladium would be my last choice. I'd get the ering in platinum now and wait a few months to buy the wedding band.

Really? Not what I expected to hear based on what I had read...

I will likely change it to platnium...

Palladium would be my last choice. I'd do 18K before that, though I am not particular when it comes to choosing between 18K and platinum myself. I like both.

Wow, actually shocked at the anti pallidum responses.

I am going to call and switch it now...

I just ordered it in pallidum. I am going to go with platnium.

I am so excited.

Any history of nickel allergy? It could, of course, also appear at any time.

I could be mistaken, but Palladium may be harder to do repairs on than either gold or platinum.

 

[dudeinlove]

OKay, switched it to Platinum.


My FF fiance is going to freak out when she sees this thing

Thanks so much for your help and advise, I am confident I made a very sound purchase and it's all because if all your help! I started many threads and talked through many things with you all
