Robert Adair Jewellers Ballymena carry out Ear Piercing. At Robert Adair Jewellers you can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and getting you ear pierced there is straight forward and is carried out by Stuart Adair who has been piercing ears for twenty years.

Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence has recently hit the red carpet sporting new short haircut which shows off some beautiful earrings.

Stuart Adair recommends getting your ear pierce by a professional jeweller;

“At Robert Adair Jewellers we only use 14ct gold earrings. Only 14ct gold earrings are used with a choice of either yellow or white gold 4mm ball studs available. We use of quality gold ear rings is essential to limit the chances of allergic reactions.”

Ear Rings

Stuart is happy to pierce a child’s ears from the age of seven with no upper age limit.

The ear piercing will only take about ten minutes from start to finish although Stuart will not rush as some people, particularly children, need that little extra reassurance and explanation about what is going to happen.

Remember at Robert Adair Jewellers we only use 14ct gold earrings and costs are very reasonable. Phone to make an ear piercing appointment with Stuart Adair at Robert Adair Jewellers. T: (028) 2565 6896

Earrings – Piercing – Ballymena

The price of Platinum and Gold has sky rocketed and is a cause for concern for both manufactures and retailers.

Manufacturing items such as diamond engagement rings and wedding bands has become more expensive.

Could Palladium be the new alternative? 

Palladium imageAt Robert Adair Jewellers Ballymena we have found a gradual rise in the popularity of this precious metal with more and more of our customers seeking an affordable price range.

 

Palladium is 95% pure and is made up Ruthenium and Iridium, which are also platinum group metals. 

Palladium is a Platinum group metal and comes with many advantages.

Rings

For example:

    • It does not tarnish or lose whiteness when worn.
    • Palladium does not need to be rhodium plated like white gold
    • Palladium is harder wearing.
    • As it is a platinum group metal it makes the jewellery item hypo-allergenic
      with negligible nickel content
    • The colour of palladium is slightly darker than platinum making any set diamonds look more revealing.
    • Palladium is in the same price bracket as white gold but due to the price of gold rising and that Palladium is a less dense metal than gold it is less expensive.

 

Interesting facts – 

Palladium is actually rarer than Gold and may hold a higher value in the future, especially if it becomes sought after over Gold due to trends in the buying market.

From January 2010 Palladium has been officially recognised as a precious metal. If a Palladium design weighs more than 1 gram it is now a legal requirement for it to be hallmarked.

The symbol for Palladium is the Pallas Athene, the Greek Goddess of War, Wisdom and Crafts, after whom it was named. The mark was designed for use as part of the Palladium hallmark as shown below.

Like 9ct and 18ct gold there are two qualities of palladium available palladium 500 and palladium 950.  The 950 quality is almost pure palladium while the 500 standard comprises 50% palladium.
