Thankyou,

    From all the replies I have had from this thread, I am now convinced
    that I have to try the 950 palladium as an alternate to plat...
    sounds like a good metal to be working in... As for the original
    problem... I made the ring set in white gold and used an 

    alloy of half silver half palladium. The colour was quite good, it
    worked well although it felt a bit more "sticky" than my usual mix. It
    was not quite as white as I hoped it would be and after explaining
    the rhodium to the client, 

    I ended up plating it anyway...I considered Ni. but decided against
    adding any just as a precaution. (I can't stand working nickel
    alloyed white gold) 

    Daniel, Raakhi, James, Lawrence, your info has been noted for future
    reference...Thanks. 

    Gwen. 

    (Just returned from a week in the bush unwinding and getting some
    fresh air... lots of elephant, lion, giraffe, zebra, buck and all
    the usual... such fun!!)
