Why do women want this, I mean if you look at the astetic qualities of platinum and silver you will have a very difficult time telling the two apart.

I then clue her in that Palladium costs like five times more than platinum, it too looks like silver, now she is on a palladium ring kick with her boyfriend. To me this is the essence of a GOLD DIGGER. I mean if someone is willing to commit there life to you through marrage and shell out for the diamond/gold ring deal isnt that pretty much enough?

And the only reason that Palladium and Platinum have such high prices is the demand for them in industrial applications is high. If other metals were found to have better qualities than these for those relivant applications, the prices for these two metals would go down the toilet in relation to there current positions in the metals markets.

Woemn are insecure about this stuff, and feel that if tehy have a more expensive ring, then they are loved more, they are worth more, they are.....well you get the idea.
