Hey I have my Weddin ring all ready, when my H2B got my engagement ring it came with it as they sit together. The problem I have is where to get H2B's ring? He wants platininum but that's all I know, I don't have a clue where to get it at a reasonable price. Has anyone bought one off the internet which was good? Or can anyone recommend one fairly cheap?

Do you know what the difference is between paladium and platinum?

Paladium is the sister metal to platinum a good cheaper option xx

We got palladium for h2b, similar but less rare so cheaper. Was a third of the price of the platinum one he liked
Is it the same colour as platinum? And do you have to get it re coated?
CommentAuthortwirler
same colour and wears the same as well so no need to re coat xx

My H2B is having palladium as his ring in Plat would have cost 6 times as much! It's a 6mm beveled edge so quite heavy. With men's rings, the thing that bumps up the price is the weight - with us girlies, it's the diamonds ;)
Vegas baby!

talking of wedding rings..... I was wondering, my engagement ring is 18ct white gold would I need to have a 18ct wedding ring or could I get away with a 9ct or palladium would there be any colour difference? x

Ok, advice that I was given by our ring person was: If you have a certain ct gold, you should stick with that or you'll cause the one of lesser ct to wear down over time. White gold wears at a different rate than plat or palladium so should not be mixed and they are also slightly different colour - with pall wearing with a slightly greyer tone than plat. Basically, don;t mix your metals was the advice to us!
