Silver has been valued as a precious metal for many years. It has been used for jewellery, ornaments, vesta cases, vinaigrettes, flatware and tableware.
Silver, although soft, is harder than gold. Before platinum was widely available, silver was often used to mount precious stones such as diamonds. This method of mounting precious gems was particularly used during the Georgian era.
