Jacquelne A Nantier-Hopewell
Palladiverse
Manassas, VA. USA
I am an upstart reseller and designer. I am profoundly allergic to
metal (gold, silver, nickel etc) and so I started searching for
fashion jewelry I could wear and the only thing I could wear was
Platinum. At 1,800.00 plus and ounce that got too expensive. So then
I started researching Palladium, and found this is a metal I am not
reactive too. However, no one really carries much of it retail. So I
decided to create a boutique Palladium fashion jewelry design
business with my son who is a design student. I hope to start
selling my designs within the next two to four months.
