This document should be read in conjunction with the Act and Regulations which will govern. 1.1 Objectives of the Legislation The Act and Regulations seek: • to ensure that the information provided to consumers on the quality of a precious metal article is not misleading or deceptive; and • to provide for the uniform description and quality marking of precious metal articles, including jewellery, hollow ware, watches, spectacle frames, flatware, etc. in the Canadian marketplace thereby assisting consumers with their purchasing decisions. 1.2 Prohibitions Section 10 of the Act The Act prohibits: • a dealer from applying a mark to a plated article guaranteeing the durability or wear of the precious metal plating for a period of time. • a dealer from selling, importing into Canada or advertising any precious metal article in a manner which is false or misleading as to the precious metal content.

UPCOTT GILL, 170, STRAND, W.C, 1887. PRINTED BY A. BRADLEY, 170, STRAND, LONDON. 3W PREFACE. " JjJjtfN these days, when of making books there is no end," ^*^ and every description of work, whether professional or amateur, has a literature of its own, it is strange that scarcely anything should have been written on the fascinating arts of Chasing and Repousse Work. It is true that a few articles have appeared in various periodicals on the subject, but with scarcely an exception they treated only of Working on Wood, and the directions given were generally crude and imperfect. This is the more surprising when we consider how fashionable Repousse Work has become of late years, both here and in America; indeed, in the latter country, "Do you pound brass ? " is said to be a very common question. I have written the following pages in the hope that they might, in some measure, supply a want, and prove of service to my brother amateurs. It has been hinted to me that some of my chapters are rather "advanced;" in other words, that I have gone farther than amateurs are likely to follow me.

  • THE DEGRADATION of PEWTER in ANTIQUE LACE BOBBINS Home Page
    THE DEGRADATION OF PEWTER IN ANTIQUE LACE BOBBINS Home Page Parent Page THE DEGRADATION OF PEWTER IN ANTIQUE LACE BOBBINS. This article needs a couple of pics. Pewter Degradation Introduction The pewter used in bobbins is one of the prettiest decorative processes that makers used. Unfortunately during the passage of time much of the pewter by some makers has degraded and has either fallen off the bobbin or has become swollen, misshapen and even crumbly. The following is my attempt, with the help of many people on the web and especially my friend Neil Keats, to explain this phenomenon. Pewter. Pewter is an alloy (i.e. a mixture) of tin and lead. The better the quality of pewter the higher the percentage of tin is in the alloy. Tin exists in three forms, depending on the temperature. This is called polymorphism (poly-many, morphism-shapes). At temperatures between 13 and 160 degrees C, it is called White tin, and the atoms (think of them as little balls in this description) are packed closely together to form the metal. Hence, it is a dense metal, i.e. it is hard. file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/My%20Docu...s/Pewter%20degredation/Pewter%20degredation.htm (1 of 4) [6/9/2003 8:15:25 PM] THE DEGRADATION OF PEWTER IN ANTIQUE LACE BOBBINS Below 13 degrees C the atoms rearrange to become more loosely packed (actually in the same configuration as diamond). This shows first as wart-like structures on the surface, and eventually leads to the tin crumbling into a powder. This is called "tin pest", and is what happened to the buttons on Napoleon's soldiers coats.

Since forties, platinum alloys have been used as structural materials for quipments in the glass industry.

Jan Gadd is credited with the photography and the descriptions. He was assisted by Dr John Richardson and Michael Boorer. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… It is apparent that some information unknown to Jan has become known in the intervening years. These descriptions were the best available at the time of writing to Jan Gadd. ARLINGTON COURT IS A NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTY AT BARNSTAPLE The unmarried heiress and descendant of the original owner Rosalie Chichester died age 85 in 1949 bequeathing Arlington Court to the National Trust. She was a talented artist with a knowledge of flora and fauna, reputably strong willed, and a well-known collector of old pewter. She was also known for a strong aversion to hunting.

  • Advertising Platinum Jewelry
    FTC FACTS for Business Advertising Platinum Jewelry ftc.gov The Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC’s) Jewelry Guides describe how to accurately mark and advertise the platinum content of the jewelry you market or sell. Platinum jewelry can be alloyed with other metals: either precious platinum group metals (PGMs) — iridium, palladium, ruthenium, rhodium, and osmium — or non-precious base metals like copper and cobalt. In recent years, manufacturers have alloyed some platinum jewelry with a larger percentage of base metals. Recent revisions to the FTC’s Jewelry Guides address the marking of jewelry made of platinum and non-precious metal alloys and when disclosures are appropriate. When Disclosures Should Be Made Product descriptions should not be misleading, and they should disclose material information to jewelry buyers. If the platinum/base metal-alloyed item you are selling does not have the properties of products that are almost pure platinum or have a very high percentage of platinum, you should disclose that to prospective buyers. They may want to know about the value of the product as well as its durability, luster, density, scratch resistance, tarnish resistance, its ability to be resized or repaired, how well it retains precious metal over time, and whether it’s hypoallergenic. You may claim your product has these properties only if you have competent and reliable scientific evidence that your product — that has been alloyed with 15 to 50 percent non-precious or base metals — doesn’t differ in a material way from a product that is 85 percent or more pure platinum. Facts for Business Terms Used in Advertising • Jewelry that has 850 parts per thousand pure platinum — meaning that it is 85 percent pure • Any item that is less than 500 parts per platinum and 15 percent other metals — may be thousand pure platinum should not be marked referred to as “traditional platinum.” The other or described as platinum even if you modify the metals can include either PGMs or non-precious term by adding the piece’s platinum content in base metals.
