Why choose platinum for your engagement ring? Simply put, platinum is a durable naturally white metal that ages very well. And since platinum’s price point is now very similar to gold (and white gold is not naturally white and turns yellow over time), platinum is worth the investment for engagement rings, wedding rings and jewelry.

 

Stainless steel rings featured on wedding blog.

Wedding blog “With This Ring” featured designs from Novell’s new TATU collection. TATU rings are inspired by actually tribal tattoo themes, so they are not just available in an alternative metal (stainless steel), but they are the alternative to ordinary wedding rings as well. Stainless steel is very easy to care for; all you need is some warm water, mild detergent and a soft cloth.

“Novell was one of my first sponsors, and I can tell you from our extended working relationship that they are a fabulous company. They are down to earth folks that truly love serving their customers! So, I am excited to share with you their latest line of wedding bands - TATU Rings. The rings are just as they sound – designs that have been inspired by actual tattoo and tribal designs. If your groom isn't into a simple version of a wedding band, then these rings are for him!” View the Tatu ring post on With This Ring - Sponsor Spotlight: Novell TATU Wedding Bands.

There is a lot of misinformation posted on blogs and websites, so sometimes the facts may not be 100% correct or misconstrued. Here’s a clear and concise article comparing the characteristics of platinum and palladium - Platinum to Palladium Comparison for Jewelry. Simply put – palladium is the better choice over white gold if platinum is not an option due to price. However, platinum is the premium metal that can last a lifetime.

Novell endorses wedding website WhereToGetEngaged.com.

As posted on Novell's wedding band blog, here's an endorsement for a new wedding planning website - WhereToGetEngaged.com.

A note from Novell's Marketing Director Rick Mulholland:

Novell has recently added a profile to a great up-and-coming bridal website – WhereToGetEngaged.com. I am a big fan of this website as it is much less cluttered than TheKnot.com or Brides.com, and they really seem to understand what an advertisers needs are as far as tools for social networking. I have added the top wedding bands that Novell will be promoting over the next year. The latest and greatest Novell products, such as TATU wedding bands and our new bridal jewelry collection, will also be added in the near future as well. One nice feature is that retailers can also create a profile, link to Novell as a vendor, and even have the ability to highlight products that are for sale. For these reasons, I encourage every one of Novell’s referred retailers to link to us on WhereToGetEngaged.com, as well as our Facebook page, too.

Here are the links:

Palladium had a role in the Iron Man movie

The Palladium Experience blog reports about the featuring of palladium in the movie Iron Man. The fine people at The Palladium Alliance are stepping up their efforts to bring palladium more into the public eye. If anything, it allows the average consumer the opportunity to compare the benefits of palladium to platinum and gold in order to make an educated buying decision.

"Did anyone but yours truly catch the "product placement" of palladium in Iron Man? Not as jewelry (darn it) but as a high tech metal that was removed from the missiles and re-cast for the Iron Man suit. Not bad for a new metal. I wonder if DJS (the palladium marketeers) had anything to do with that... "

Wedding blog "With This Ring" features Novell's for video "Choosing The Right Metal"

With This Ring, a blog dedicated to current wedding trends and suggestions, featured Novell's video based on the "Choosing the Right Metal for Your Bridal Jewelry" brochure. Both the brochure and video are designed to help consumers educate themselves about the metals that are popular for wedding rings and bridal jewelry - platinum, palladium, gold, titanium and tungsten.

From the author:
"I know I've written about this before, but I feel like its worth mentioning again (and now there is a video...I am all about the visual). When we went to go pick out our wedding bands I admittedly didn't know much at all about the differences in metal. We ultimately decided on Platinum for me and Palladium for the boy, but going into this whole experience I had never even heard of Palladium. So, I hope this video helps you a little, or at the least gives you some ideas by looking at all the different pics of jewelry!"

The "Choosing the Right Metal for Your Bridal Jewelry" brochure and video have also been featured on Trans World News, FindIttVideo.com, Novell News,YouTube.com and Google News.

The video’s soundtrack features the song “Center of My Heart,” a track from composer Paul Schwartz’s recent album - State of Grace III. From modern pulsing rhythmic tracks to small acoustic ensembles and broadly orchestrated numbers, State of Grace III features a wide range of musical styles.
