Alloying in the small workshop

This paper was presented at the 1996
10th annual Santa Fe Symposium

As a jewellery craftsman of 50 years standing, 30 years of which have been devoted to
custom casting for the jewellery industry, I have pleasure in describing some of the
pitfalls and successes I have experienced in the making of gold alloys in general with
particular reference to a silicon containing master alloy for the lower carat rated yellow
golds which I invented in 1964, and gave to The Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths in 1969
(Figure 1). Whether alloying gold for ingots, granulation or casting, I have found there
are some basic parameters to be observed.
