Britain's war brides are therefore leaving the altar ,with rings made of palladium, a metal named after the planet Pallas, from Pallas Athene, the Greek goddess of knowledge, whose image the ancients believed brought good fortune. British jewellers like the metal be- cause it works quite as easily as pla- tinum, In engagement rings it holds the stones securely and with its lin- tarnishable brilliance brings out all their fire and color. It is indeed prav- Ing ideal for all kinds of rings, and also, as it is about 40 per Cent light- er than platinum, for cigarette aild vanity cases, bracelets and other articles where lightness, strength and beauty are desired. Pure palladium, Ilcie pure platinum,. is too soft for jewelllery work, so it is being toughened by the addition of small quantities of rhodium and ruthenium, two even more precious metals of the platinum group. In this state it is called by the trade Kerbs palladium which goes to Bri- tain chiefly from Canada. Kerba palladium costs 127.10,0, an ounce, as against 129.0,0 an ounce for jewellers' platinum, but, as it is so much lighter, it goes further. In value it is comparable with 18 -carat gold, and it is much more desirable because even IR the alloy state it is precious metal throughout, SHIPWRECK SUIT Brings British Inventor Life -Saving Award A "shipwreck suit" is the latest British invention for saving seamen's lives.
