This product can only be found in your local store unfortunately. So not the best deal for everyone. Not sure if the retail price is correct but If you can find one in the right size and it's for you - it's a steal.
There's similar rings that have also been drastically reduced in price.
### Product Description ###
The 4mm band is made from palladium - a luxury metal that will maintain its naturally white colouring throughout your long and happy marriage.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with not spending a fortune on a wedding ring. It is what it signifies that is important. Mine and my partners wedding bands are titanium - not expensive but tough as anything and will stand the test of time as I hope our marriage will.

palladium is in the same periodic group as platinum and shares the same characteristics. who gives a toss what a ring is made of, if your happy with it then great it was worth it.
if your a brainless sheep following the advertising hype of "if you love her/him you would get this ring" anyone buying a ring from a high Street jeweler is on the whole buying crap that's worth a third of its sales ticket. don't believe me, go buy one then immediately take it to an auction house and see what they value it at or worst still a pawn broker who will value that jewellery you paid a pretty penny for at its metal value as stones are not compensated for.
oh and don't mention "craftsmanship" think how many pieces had to be made for high Street stores to all have one and then think how many they have in the warehouse to accommodate for any size request they might get.
So feel free to get your gold, platinum or 16ct diamond ring at top price but don't put down a deal like this.

Because the only way to show you truly love someone is to spend loads of money on something functionally identical made from more expensive materials pumped up by marketeers to suck more money from suckers!

Had a look at this in store - nothing wrong with it, but had a 'gun metal' shade so did not buy

Better things to spend your money on than a piece of metal that goes round your finger imo. If she turns her nose up at it she's not worth marrying.

Nothing wrong with any type of ring TBH, buy what you can afford. However this is a low cost budget palladium ring not really comparable to the 950. The wife has a platinum engagement ring and a palladium band. Both have worn exceptionally well neither have faded or scratched or tarnished.

The only ring that's tighter than the size of this ring. Is the ass hole who thinks a 32quid ring is justiable for a wedding day.

If the person I loved based it on whether she had an expensive ring or not, that is indication enough that she isn't worthy of a wedding day...

Really? For me as long as the ring isn't made out of some cheap plated metal that will turn your finger green once the plating falls off I would not turn my noise up at this ring or one that cost 1p it's not the cost that matters but the sentiment

I doubt many people would buy this as a wedding ring for their SO but this is good value for someone who wants to replace a lost rang. Heat added

One of the Problems with these rings is a lot of women just go off the D once their married...... :wink:

haha agreed! A wedding ring is for life *for some* so if you have the money and can afford to do so, don't hold back on the costs. It's a lifetime investment :wink:. On the other hand though, it's not all about the money or the bling and this might be perfect for some.

I scratched and broke my white gold one so titanium and cheap was the way forward for me. I do too much manual work with my hands on computers and diy type stuff and need invincible replaceable and very wide and smooth ring.

Well worth going to an independent and getting a besoke palladium design. I did this for my wedding. Refused to be a sheep and pay silly money. If memory serves me correct I got s bespoke 950 PD ring made for £200 seven years ago.

nowt wrong with palladium 950.
It has been more expensive than platinum at times but for the last decade or so has been cheaper. Both metal have very similar properties except density.
Palladium 500 however....

The other 5% is other metals which binds the palladium and makes it malleable. I think the other 5% is rhodium. (bought my palladium ring last week and was reading the info booklet on the train back)

I think this is a great purchase. Sentimental value hasn't got a price. I spent over £5k on wedding bands and engagement ring which wasn't necessary. Save your money for the booze you'll need after the wedding!!!!!!!!! :wink:

If you're a couple buying this together to keep wedding costs down, then maybe. But if you're thinking of purchasing this for your bride to be .... DON'T DO IT!!

Palladium 950 = 95% palladium
Palladium 500 = 50% palladium
A fantastic precious metal, naturally hypoallergenic and stays white since it's natively white (not rhodium plated like white gold).
That said, all Argos jewellery is garbage. Their retail prices are made in Wonderland.
I'd also recommend a court over D shape for comfort.
