PAI Awards Top Palladium Seller





Billings, Mont. — Palladium Alliance International (PAI) has awarded Ryan Muckelroy an all-expense-paid trip to Stillwater Mining Co. for selling the most palladium jewelry at retail jeweler Robbins Brothers.

Muckelroy clinched first prize after selling nearly $18,000 of palladium jewelry.

"The executives at Robbins Brothers have been behind palladium for years, since Scott Kay introduced it into our product line," Muckelroy said in a media release. "It's easy to sell in my market. It's beautiful, long-lasting, and it just makes sense to our customers."

In early July, Muckelroy and his wife, Amber, toured Stillwater's East Boulder Mine. Stillwater is a Sierra Club-approved "green" mine and home of the world's highest-grade palladium ore.

"It was an incredible experience...the tour helped me appreciate the work that goes into producing enough metal for one little ring," Muckelroy said. "I've told my whole team about the process, and it really increased their passion for selling palladium."
