Palladium tank plating solution makes a great alternative to rhodium tank plating when re-plating white gold wedding and engagement rings and it can be shipped outside the UK and the EU. It is also safe for jewellery items that include elements that are made of calcium carbonate such as pearl or coral, as it doesn’t etch this kind of material. In the accompanying photograph both the silver bead and the pearl strand it was threaded on was safely immersed in the palladium solution, without the pearl being masked out.
