Vine Patterned Dress Ring in Palladium 950

This Vine Patterned Dress Ring is a contemporary design. A somewhat abstract ring incorporating a vine leaf pattern, hand crafted in Palladium 950. Climbing, creeping and sprawling leaves edge along the whole band which measures approximately 3mm in width. First described in 1802, it’s a relatively recent discovery and it didn’t make its début as a precious jewellery metal until 1939. Platinum was declared a ‘strategic government resource’ during World War II and Palladium stepped in to assume the jewellery making mantle.  Palladium is part of the platinum group of metals, but is much less dense. It feels much lighter in the hand than platinum does and allows  for quite elaborate settings to be crafted.
