About Electrum:
Electrum (aka Green Gold) is a naturally found alloy of gold and silver. It was exensively mined by the Egyptians and Romans and used in their jewellery. It is a truly beautiful metal and it is just a shame it is not used today.
XRF analysis of this sample demonstrates a 60/40 ratio so a little over 14ct Gold.
Important info about Brooches / Pins:
Many brooches were made long before the Hallmarking Act came into force and though we have been hallmarking items in the UK since the 1300s this was not the norm until recently. Many items were handmade by the "family jeweler" and never went off to be assayed. Anything made pre 1920 does not need to be hallmarked by law.
All such items are electronically tested for purity (I do NOT use acid, I am not a complete idiot) and guaranteed to be as stated. If you check the shop policies you will see that I offer a full no-quibble returns policy so you can be confident in your purchase.
Thank you for your time and custom.
