Do you know that gemological laboratories also perform metal purity analysis?
In this talk, we bring our metal testing expertise to the forefront and unpack the pros and cons with each metal type commonly used in jewellery today. Why do you feel itchy after wearing certain metals? Is what you bought really what you are wearing? What are some safety issues to note?
Some topics:
Metal types - gold, silver, platinum, copper, brass, others if we have time
What else is in these jewellery?
Why does my 18K gold look different?
Why does my skin itch after wearing some jewellery?
What is metal plating and what is in the plating? What about gold vermeil and gold filled？
What are some international safety standards?
etc
After this talk, you can expect to walk away knowing how to discuss your metal types with your jewellers/customers better. The talk will be conducted in an exploratory and interactive way.
In the spirit of knowledge sharing in a relaxed environment, buying and selling of gemstones and jewellery is strictly not permitted.
