    What he is selling you is an 18k palladium white gold, which is not
    palladium.  The metal will be a grayish tone, not as white as
    palladium or platinum.  The hardness of metal does not relate to what
    temperatures are needed to work it.  Palladium white gold should be
    priced about 20% higher than working with normal gold.
