Palladium: Extremely popular amongst budding grooms, a member of the platinum family but 1/3 of the price.

For your information, the classic court profile is one of the most popular traditional ring profiles as the rounded profile makes it extremely comfortable to wear and easy to get on and off your finger. The flat ring profile is a more contemporary style which has grown in popularity. The flat court ring style combines a curved inner profile with a flat external profile thus combining comfort with contemporary styling. And the D shaped profile is flat on the inside surface, curved on the outside, giving it a more traditional appearance.
