“Jewelry takes peoples minds off your wrinkles.” – Sonja Henie, Olympic figure skater and Hollywood actress

Jewelry does more than distract from imperfections; it can actually improve on perfection, if such a thing were indeed possible. Originating from the Latin word “jocale” meaning plaything, jewelry dates back to the earliest dawn of human existence, with the earliest specimens found to be more than 100,000 years old. While Early Man (and Woman) made jewelry out of beads, shells, horns and bones, modern jewelry is largely made from precious metals and gemstones. Although alloys of almost every metal found on earth have been used in jewelry, the top 3 precious metals used nowadays are gold, silver and platinum.

The chemist will describe gold as a metal with the symbol Au (from Aurum, Latin for “shining dawn”) and the atomic number 79. The physicist will add that it is the most malleable and ductile of metals while the statistician will estimate that all the gold ever mined will form a cube of 60 meters edge. But they will not be able to convey that over the ages, no material has been able to incite as much passion and wonder as the yellow metal.

Gold has been used, and revered, since 5,000 BC. The earliest civilizations measured their worth in gold. Gold drove adventurers to exotic lands, from the Spanish conquistadors in the 15th century to the San Francisco 49ers 400 years later. Even today, it is the most popular material for expensive jewelry. Since pure gold is soft and unsuitable for jewelry, it is mixed with some other metal, usually copper. The resultant alloys purity is graded in karats (k), which is equivalent to 1/24th purity by mass. Therefore 24k gold is 99.9% pure, 22k gold is 91.6%, 18k gold is 75% pure, etc. American gold jewellery, to be classified as such, must be of at least 10K or 41.7% pure gold.

Silver may not enjoy golds popularity but it has been a part of human history for as long, as a medium of currency and ornament. Its mention in the Bibles Book of Genesis indicates silvers use by man as early as 4,000 BC. Also in the Bible, Judas of Iscariot is infamous for betraying Jesus Christ to the Romans for thirty pieces of silver. In jewelry, silver has seen a marked resurgence in popularity in recent times. Silver jewelry is traditionally made from sterling silver, an alloy of 92.5% silver with 7.5% copper.

Platinum is a metal that is even rarer than gold. Unlike gold and silver, there is little evidence of its use by Early Man. Although usually costlier than the yellow metal, platinums price can fall below golds during periods of economic uncertainty, as platinum prices are usually driven by industrial demand. Historically, platinum has been costlier than gold, with King Louis XV of France once declaring it the only metal fit for a king. Platinums rarity accords it a prestige higher than gold, as evidenced through platinum credit cards and platinum record albums.

The name platinum comes from the Spanish term platina del Pinto, literally translated into “little silver of the Pinto River.” Most of the platinum mined is used in catalytic converters, although its popularity in jewelry in increasing. The metals ability to withstand wear and tear makes it attractive for fine jewelry, with platinum products being marketed as “eternal”. Diamonds set in platinum are especially popular for showing commitment and love.
