Palladium jewelry mark
In a palladium jewelry mark, PD is the metal abbreviation. White colour alone does not separate platinum, palladium, white gold and silver.
Palladium fineness numbers
PD is the metal abbreviation. PD950 or 950 PALLADIUM denotes 95% palladium; 500 denotes 50%. PD can also occur within a maker signature, so a fineness number or a palladium hallmark distinguishes the metal reading.
What to check next
A bare 950 can also occur on silver. Read the metal name and hallmark surround before assigning it to palladium. White colour alone does not separate platinum, palladium, white gold and silver. Check any independent maker or sponsor punch beside the metal designation.
