What is an Alloy? According to the Hamlyn World Encyclopaedic Dictionary the definition of the word "ALLOY" is a substance composed of two or more metals, or sometimes a metal and a non metal, which have been intimately mixed by fusion, electrolytic deposition, or the like.We as jewellers, understand alloying as the melting together of any two or more of the following -- gold, silver, the platinum group, copper, zinc or other elements, some metallic and some non-metallic such as Boron and Silicon. Our interest is in the eight noble metals, or more specifically of, gold, silver, platinum and palladium.
