Can you have a combo of sterling silver and platinum in jewelry?
Yes, Sterling and Platinum can be combined either by soldering or brazing the two metals together, riveting the metals together, or alloying the two metals. The jeweler who fabricates a piece out of the two metals must have two separate and distinct sets of tools that are used specifically for the two metals to avoid tool and metal contamination.
What two metals are used as nuclear fules?

Is gold two metals?
Pure gold is just that: gold. However, when used for jewelry or coins, it usually has copper mixed in for better durability.
How is two toned jewelry made?
The way two-toned jewelry is made depends on the type of jewelry. It may be soldered together, or two different types of metals may be cast in the same mold. It may also be painted and then fired to create a permanent coloring.

Why do we not use silver and gold in conduction?
Silver and gold are two of the most popular metals in the world. They are also used to make coins, jewelry, and a variety of other things. However, they are not used in conduction because they would corrode too fast.
Why are alloys often used instead of pure metals?
Alloys are sometimes more useful than pure metals because alloys tend to be stronger though not necessarily. Pure metals tend to be softer than alloys, which are a mix of two or more metals, and therefore get dented, scratched, or broken more easily. Gold used in jewelry is a good example. Metal alloys have different structural and behavioral characteristics than pure metals. Alloying a metal also gives it a different appearance. In some cases alloys may result in a lighter metal without sacrificing other necessary characteristics. They may also be more cost effective.
Why is platinum often used in jewelry?
Like all platinum group metals, platinum is stable, does not react with anything, is non toxic, and it's pretty and rare. That's the perfect recipe for jewelry. Metals not in the platinum group often oxidize when exposed to air. Depending on what they oxidize into, it can mean anything from simply being ugly to being very toxic. Metals oxidize because oxygen is a very electronegative molecule (two oxygen atoms make up one 02 molecule). Gold and platinum don't oxidize because of the position of their D-shell electrons. They're very happy atoms, so they don't want any electrons, so they don't react, and they stay shiny.
