Top designer Vivienne Westwood in her Gainsborough Collection palladium jewellery
Among these well-known designers is Vivienne Westwood, who launched in late 2012 a brand new palladium jewellery collection, her second made in collaboration with Palladium Alliance International (PAI).
The Gainsborough Collection consists of nine items made from palladium, including a couture necklace, a tiara and earrings detailed with diamonds and sapphires, as well as five ready-to-wear designs, reports WWD. Why the queen of punk chose palladium? The answer may be, as PAI suggests, because the metal is tough, sexy and sensitive.
From the same family of platinum and sharing its strength, palladium is tough and durable, allowing bold jewellery designs to be created and worn with ease. Sexy palladium is becoming the metal of choice for a growing number of fashion-forward jewellery designers and is typically less expensive than platinum or gold, making it the preference for savvy shoppers who want affordable luxury. Moreover, palladium gets its colour and lustre from nature so sensitive people allergic to some other metals love its purity.
