Alloy
Alloys are fundamental to jewellery manufacturing, influencing everything from metal hardness and colour to tarnish resistance and cost efficiency. Whether used in gold, silver, platinum, or base metal formulations, alloys determine how materials perform in casting, setting, and wear. Jewellery Focus reports on the role of alloys across the trade, including developments in hypoallergenic blends, innovations in recycled or alternative metal alloys, and their impact on quality, pricing, and production. Our coverage supports jewellers, manufacturers, and suppliers seeking to optimise material performance, meet customer expectations, and stay compliant with evolving standards.
