Where did you get your palladium rings from & price?

I didn't get palladium so can't help there, but I do highly recommend shopping around for prices. I found high street to be around twice the price of independent places.

Where abouts in the country are you? It might be worth a trip to Hatton Garden (London) or Jewellery Quarter (B'ham).

Hey schiocco, thanks! We are planning on going to Hatton Gds as that's where hubby got the engagement ring from but it would be good to get some real-life prices. I've looked online at high street jewellers & also others & any recommendations would be welcomed

I got my palladium engagement and wedding rings from a local independent jeweller who is very nice and a fairly reasonable price.

My engagement ring cost £350, but used diamonds and sapphires we already had from my original engagement ring. My wedding ring cost £200 and is a plain palladium D-court. £550 for both of mine. D's is a titanium ring and cost £60.

Forgot to say we got a quote for a palladium ring for D, 5mm court ring in size U from a 'chain' similar to smooch and were quoted £400 for his alone. I think if we'd gone to the local jewellers we could have got the price down a little bit.

Let's see your engagement ring?

Can't recommend Marlows enough, cheapest around I've seen and the service is amazing.

Don't think they do palliduim though. Your husbands would be cheap from here though.

We went to Jade in hatton gardens. We paid about £900 for my platinum ring with diamonds and H's palladium ring.

I think our palladium rings were 400 from the jewellery quarter in brum. Mine has diamonds half way round, mr IB's is plain band.

Ours were from Newey's in the Jewellry Quarter, the were a very good price even compared to some other shops in the area. £520 total for both, a 6mm heavy court for Husband and 3mm with 5 small diamonds set in for me.

Mine is a 3mm plain palladium band and was £100.

H's is a 5mm or 6mm (can't remember which) palladium band with two grooves and his was £400.

We got ours from an independent jeweller in Leeds.

Mine was a plain platinum band (to match my ER) and his was a bevelled palladium ring, we got them last week from Channings in Hatton Garden for £650 for both.

You've got to bear in mind that the price of metal is constantly changing (normally going up) so the price that someone paid for the exact same ring 6 months ago could be cheaper than you'll be able to get it now.

Agree re the price of metals -- however, I think for £800 you could get a platinum pave diamond band, plus your OH's band in palladium/titanium/or tungsten carbide. Honestly, IMO unless you're really good and brazen about negotiating, you can get better deals on the internet than in HG.

Mine is palladium 3mm medium weight court and was £137 Oh had silver 7mm court and was £48

We had from the ring lab and they were fab!

We got our from Ernest Jones: OH /webstore/d/****/palladium+950+6mm+matt+%26+polished+ring/ £399 and mine was £299 for the girls version.

Went shopping with one of best friends to get her now hubby's palladium ring in Hatton Garden only last month and she paid £330 for a 5mm one similar, if not identical, to the Ernest Jones one above. Has to be said was not a lot of haggling going on! This was from a stand within the Heart of HG showrooms but not sure of the name.

My engagement ring (only 5 days old !!!) came from another HG area showrooms and their service was fab - I notice they also do wedding rings. http://www.purelydiamonds.co.uk/wedding-rings/mens-plain-bands/palladium-mens-plain-bands.html

HTH!

My friends got theirs from www.dotjewellrey.com and only spent about £700 on two rings. They look fab too.

Thanks

Can't recommend Marlows enough, cheapest around I've seen and the service is amazing.

Thank you! I've added these guys to our list when we goto HG.

Any chance you can flash your engagement ring so I can see what style it is? That's a good price for both.

That's a really good price. How long ago did you buy & what size (mm) is your OH's?

Any chance of a flash of your ring also???

Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your responses, really helpful!

I would defiantely have a look at Jewellry Quarter in Birmingham, I got my platinum 2.5mm band for under £250 so you would definately be able to get your in platinum and still have money spare for OH's paladium ring.

We bought ours ages ago, think it was early 2010? - when hallmarking was still optional for palladium anyway. They were £220 something total from Newey's in the JQ. They are both plain palladium flat court bands, 3mm and 5mm I think. We've since had them engraved this year. Can't reccommend Newey's enough, when we came to get them engraved we realised there was a problem with mine (it had a double hallmark) so called Neweys and they advised to send it back and they would remove the second hallmark so popped it in the post and it was back with me within the week and they even popped £10 in to cover the cost of the recorded delivery. I could've had a completely new ring for free if I'd wanted to, but I opted not to as it wouldn't be the one that I'd chosen and also there was a bit of a wait for it.

Hi this is my first post!

I have decided palladium is the way to go, as it's cheaper than platinum to sit nicely next to my platinum e ring.

Has anyone bought one from ebay?

Or are they too good to be true?

We've gone to a local jeweller. Our rings are being made from a signet ring that was my Dad's (he passed away when I was younger) so that obviously brings the cost down. I'm having a slightly shaped ring to fit round my engagement ring (avatar pic) and OH is having a plain band, it's going to be no more than £150 for both. The only thing we didn't ask about which I think we might now given the very reasonable price is engraving.
