     This is my first time working with Palladium...My friend asked me to
     make her wedding bands and I'm using gold and palladium..because she
     can't afford platinum, but wants something other than silver.....WEll
     as I started working with it, the palladium was very hard, but after
     I applied heat it became very malleable..so malleable that I could
     form the ring with my hands...I was wondering if anyone has
     experience with this metal and knows a way to work harden it.  I've
     hammered it, but it's still soft and I'm afraid it will nick  easily
     or possibly bend...Does anyone have any suggestions???   They will
     all be greatly appreciated.. 

     Thanks Orchidians....
