[QUOTE="Mikemsg, post: 7639649, member: 106171"]Well i called Balfour and jostens and Balfour finally let me talk to one of there ring makers or jewlers. He confirmed all my rings were made with solid palladium in the 70s and 80s into the mid 90s then they stoped using alot of palladium in mid 90s. He said he never made any from back then but from what he can tell palladium plus had the most palladium with 75 to 95% pure palladium. Then precium and astriumn and q pal and quasar plus n polara plus all had 25% to 75% pure palladium in them. He said they were not really good with micing and casting the metals back then so you could have one astrium ring with 75% pure palladium in it then test another astrium ring and that one only have 24% pure palladium in it thats how bad they were at mixing the metals lol. So anyways if you find thease rings they are treasure now and worth good good money with there palladium content and cool looks from the ring. O yeah the guy told me congratulations on all the palladium rings i collected he said he never gets to see those old rings anymore there basically a lost art he said.[/QUOTE]
