I even called belfour that make palladium plus rings and they said yes they used to use pure palladium alot in there old class rings because it was inexpensive back then and they would make up names and mix metals and trademark names for that kind of metal.
They wernt to good at mixing the metals though so you could have a ring with more palladium in it or more silver just depends on the ring you have.
Palladium plus has the most palladium in them then q pal and astrium and precium will have 25 to 75% palladium in them.
Then quasar plus polara plus have 20 to 50% palladium in them.
a metal they made called auralite has 6k to 8k solid gold and solid palladium and solid silver mixed together to make there class rings.
Jostens made the metal auralite and the ring will look gold and have the markings of two diamonds inside the band with a small j next to the diamonds.
Precious metals should go sky high soon so have fun collecting my friends!
TGK
Please spread the word through the community of Ebay and all of the internet. Have your rings tested, by XRF. I just went and had two rings tested. They are labeled as Argentus and Palladium Plus. I took them into a refiner and was told they contain less than 1% palladium. We have been cheated. I will be bringing a lawsuit against Jostens. Please feel free to join me. Please spread the word. I will be getting more pieces tested to confirm this problem. If we have been cheated, we know whom to go after.
Palladium is a particularly rare metal. 1 gram is worth $14.50 (Jan 2010 price). If the coin is solid Palladium, then a coin the same weight as a US Quarter would be worth $72.50. A coin made out of such a material could be worth more to a collector.
What are 5products made of palladium
Palladium chloride can be made by dissolving palladium metal in aqua regia (a mixture of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid) to form palladium(II) chloride. The reaction involves the oxidation of palladium metal to palladium(II) ions by nitric acid.
because of their class..there is class a and d...and the year it was made.
The stamp 14KD means that the item is made of palladium, white gold. Palladium is similar to platinum but it is less expensive.
You can determine if your jewelry is palladium by checking for a hallmark or stamp indicating the metal's purity or composition. Look for markings like "Palladium" or "PD" followed by a number (e.g. 950 for 95% palladium). You can also perform a density test or have the jewelry assessed by a professional jeweler using X-ray fluorescence.
Is_palladium_magnetic"Palladium is considered weakly magnetic. It exhibits a very small magnetic susceptibility. It is not considered to be a ferromagnetic material. Contaminants can, however, make Pd show ferromagnetism."http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090616131837AAqvOVH"Yes, it is attracted to magnets, but, in itself, it is not magnetic, nor can it be made magnetic. It is in a class of metals called "paramagnetic"The Wikipedia articles can answer it much better than I can."
Palladium is what it's called.
Palladium jewelry is generally made in 2 different purity levels, 95% and 90% pure. Jewelry made with 95% palladium will be marked 950 and the remaining 5% is made with ruthenium. Items made with 90% palladium are marked 900 and will be mixed with 10% ruthenium. Both palladium and ruthenium are from the PGM family of metals otherwise known as the platinum group. PGM metals are found naturally white and are considered precious. Jewelry that is mass produced in China is alloyed with copper in place of ruthenium and is considered to be of lesser quality. If you have a jewelry that is not marked but you suspect is palladium you should take it to a local jeweler for testing. Most jewelers will use an electronic tester to determine its exact metal content.
Depends on who made itl.
ts worth its weight in mud...I dont know I have the same question
The value of a class ring made of vanadium would primarily depend on factors such as the overall quality of the ring, its design, any additional materials used, and sentimental value. Vanadium itself is a relatively common metal, so its intrinsic value may not be significant. However, the personal significance of the ring may make it valuable to the individual who owns it.
