Platinum Palladium
wedding rings, what is different with palladium, platinum and 14K gold?

Cost, scratch resistance, and other details .... 14K gold is the best around? and 18k Gold only milder but more expensive than 14K?

Gold is a classic and valuable. Even white gold still has value. We reset my engagement ring and the jeweler I bought my gold. You will need to be re-plated. Some places have a guarantee saying they will free plate once a year or even free for life, other places will charge a small fee usually around $ 25 to return to the board. The gold is mixed with nickel to create white gold. I am allergic to nickel myself, but with the lining in the ring, I have no reaction. I know that the rings are not always mixed with nickel, which happens to be the most common. Depending on what the gold alloy is mixed with the power to raise the price of the metal. 18K is softer, but it will be white. Will be zero and, finally, if the ring can be used through thin. 14k is harder and last longer. Platinum is expensive. It is whiter than white gold, although it tends to dull over time. The metal is a very strong and does not scratch so easily. Many times a jeweler can be used for white gold and platinum band for the tips, not always, but sometimes because the metal is stronger. Palladium is a platinum derivative. It's cheaper, but has some problems that platinum is dull after a short time. In addition, it is not as strong as platinum or. It has a tendency to crack either the area or the back ends of the band on his ring receives the most wear. Most jewelers have difficulty establishing these. This is usually the most jewelers in the network and local places are not selling palladium. I really just buy it on the Internet and not get much of a guarantee with their rings either. Spent in search of gold if you choose between 14-karat gold. You are receiving something of value there. The value of gold may go up and down, but will last longer than other metals. Except perhaps platinum, but like I said, is expensive. I hope this helped at all. Good luck!
