Hi SoontobeMrs I have a palladium moissanite band and it is spectacular!!! I have only worn it a couple of times, (lol long story I was going to sell it to raise money for a diamond OEC I found, so I didn't wear it once I decided that) and it went wonderful with my platinum ering. I got my eternity band from Bella. I am thinking you are getting one with diamonds but I am sure Bella would be able to help you there as well! Good luck! I love palladium it is a great back up for me when I don't have the extra $$$ for platinum!

Thanks, MrsW!
I would actually love to try Moissanite because I think I'd love the extra sparkle in the little stones! Not sure how it would match with my E colored Asha though.
I went with the palladium ering and am very happy I did! I'd like to find a palladium band to wear with it, but other than the website tricksi posted above, haven't had much luck! BTW, the website above is great - in the last 2 hours, I have had about 4 emails from them answering my questions!
Sidenote - I was really annoyed the other day when I was in a (high end) B&M store. They carry a rather large collection of Scott Kay and other expensive designers. Anyway, I asked if they have anything in palladium, and she told me that all of their rings are made with palladium, and continued showing me the platinum and diamond eternities. I told her no, I don't want palladium that's mixed with platinum or whatever, I want a palladium and diamond eternity band. So, she checked with her manager, who she said is a GIA certified jewelry expert. After their conversation my sales girl came back and told DF and I that diamonds should never be set in palladium because it's an alloy, not a "real metal" and that it would be like setting diamonds in a 7up can. As you can imagine, I was livid, and won't be buying my wedding ring - or anything else - from her. DF had no idea why I was unhappy (and I think was wondering if we should have purchased a platinum ering) until I showed him Scott Kay's website, where every diamond band is available in palladium. It really gets under my skin when sales people tell me completely wrong information. The women in that store were uneducated and were giving me incorrect information to get me to buy something I didn't want by telling me that what I wanted would be a piece of crap. I get irritated just thinking about it!

I know! I'm in sales too. It's truly one of my biggest pet peeves to go to a sales person, tell them what you're looking for, and have them start unloading all the reasons that you shouldn't be looking for what you are, and why what they have is so much better. IMO no good salesperson does this.
If I had been that sales girl, and been given that response from my manager, I would have gone back to the customer and said "I'm sorry, we don't carry palladium eternity rings, but I would be happy to show you some designs in platinum." Knowing me, and knowing that I LOVE some of the Scott Kay designs they had in the case, DF and I would have walked out of that store with a $3,000 platinum eternity ring and probably a platinum band for him. Oh well, guess she lost a commission that day.
