Precious Metals
Gold and silver have been used since ancient times because of their ease of working, and their resistance to tarnishing. Platinum, a hard metal with a high melting point, is difficult to fashion, but has an important place in the more recent history of jewellery design.
These precious metals are generally alloyed with other metals to make them more durable for everyday wear, creating a number of standards of purity. The purity of the precious metals often varies from country to country. Since the 14th Century, Britain has maintained strict legal controls on the standards of silver, regulations that were later applied to gold and platinum.
