 Precious Metals

Until the 1800’s, gems were generally mounted in protective box settings, or high collets with a minimum of surface exposure. The open setting became popular in the 1850’s, and by the 1900’s the strength of platinum enabled settings to be so fine that the stones almost appear unsupported. Platinum is the hardest precious metal and does not tarnish; gold and silver are lustrous and non-corrosive although silver does tarnish. Both silver and gold are alloyed with other metals to increase durability, resulting in variations in color and strength.
