Whats the difference between palladium, white gold and platinum?
Palladium is a precious gray-white metal part of the platinum family. It will never tarnish or change its natural color; it is a hypoallergenic metal. Platinum is a white metal, but unlike gold it is used in jewelry at 90-95% pure. Platinum is extremely long wearing and is very white, so it does not need to be Rhodium plated. Platinum is very dense and heavy, so a platinum ring will feel heavier than a gold ring. White gold is an alloy of gold and some white metals such as silver and palladium. White gold can be 18kt, 14kt, 9kt or any karat.
