palladiumPalladium is a durable white metal that is similar to platinum. It will not tarnish like sterling silver, and unlike 14k or 18k white gold, it does not need to be rhodium plated to remain a bright, white color.

cultured pearlPearls have been admired in jewelry for centuries. Most people are familiar with akoyas, which are cultured saltwater pearls, but there are many other types of cultured pearls, such as tahitian, south sea, and freshwater pearls. Cultured freshwater pearls are available in a lovely array of natural colors, pinks, mauves, oranges, etc., and are also available in many dazzling colors that are a result of dying. I primarily use cultured freshwater pearls, either natural color or dyed.
