What is Precious Metals?
Precious metals are a group of rare and highly valued materials, including gold, silver, and platinum. These metals are cherished for their scarcity and the enduring qualities they possess, which make them stand out from more commonly found and utilized metals known as base metals, such as iron, copper, nickel, aluminum, and zinc. The value of precious metals is primarily driven by their rarity in the earth’s crust and their ability to withstand corrosion and oxidation, which allows them to maintain their luster and structural integrity over time. This combination of rarity and durability makes precious metals particularly desirable for use in jewellery, investment, and various industrial applications.
