Template talk:Jewellery Materials

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Various changes

I have:

• Added a new "Precious metal alloys" section.
• Added rhodium, electrum, rose gold, white gold and jet.
• Copied all relevant entries (jasper, peridot, sunstone, tiger's eye and tourmaline) across from Template:Gems & Crystals (which I believe to be defunct, and have recommended for deletion).
• Added this template to most of the pages that it links to.
• Removed aragonite, which in my opinion is not a common jewellery material.
• Alphabetised lists.

I have also removed the "Other parts" section, which included "Bail", "Lobster clasp" and "Pendant". This is for two reasons. Firstly, the template is meant to be about jewellery materials, and not jewellery as a whole. Secondly, the three items were extremely arbitrary, and not representative of jewellery as a whole. If the section was to be properly expanded, it would become so large as to swamp the rest of the template, and render it useless. Hyperdeath (talk) 15:04, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
