Read the complete palladium mark

The FTC Jewelry Guides prohibit palladium marks or descriptions that misrepresent an item's true composition and recognize “Pd.” and “Pall.” abbreviations. A PD950 or similar stamp is a clue, not proof; use professional testing when the alloy or plated construction is uncertain.

Compare actual palladium quotes

Ask each buyer to state the tested purity, net palladium-bearing weight, reference-price timestamp, deductions, shipping, and settlement terms. Enter the actual quote and fees above instead of inferring a payout from the buyer type or past market behavior.

Frequently asked questions

How much is PD950 palladium worth per gram?

Melt value per gram is spot ÷ 31.1035 × 0.95. Actual buyer payables vary by identification, lot, fees, and market, so enter a written quoted percentage rather than assuming a generic range.

Is palladium magnetic?

A magnet response can reveal some non-palladium components, but a nonmagnetic result does not establish palladium content or purity. Use the complete mark and professional composition testing for valuable or uncertain items.
