Precious materials are natural and they very rare to find. They have a high market value. Gold, platinum, silver, and palladium are primary precious metals. It is very difficult to find these materials in the industrial and you need to have a licence or permission to use these precious materials. All these precious materials melt in deferent temperature.
Contemporary jewellers have been making jewellery from precious materials because it has been valued, basically as a status symbol and for investment. Gold and silver, are malleable they easily formed by hand. Gold has a wide range of colours; yellow, white and rose gold. Nowadays people don't buy expensive jewellery, they just buy what they can afford at that time; because jewellers can gold plate the jewellery only the hallmark can identify the material. Using two or more precious materials can make jewellery look more decorative; because of the colour. Platinum has now become a valued precious material and we use it for scientific purpose. The jewellery that is made with precious material is always protected.

Jacqueline Mina is one of the artists, who make contemporary jewellery that is related to the one that I'm doing. She uses different effects from her materials which involves fusion. She was inspired by the patterns of Devore fabric. I want to explore colour, shape, texture and form. She is my reference artist. I will be looking at, nail art and nails shape to make my jewellery. I will make my jewellery look more different from Jacqueline because I will be using nails shape to make my jewellery piece. I'll be looking at art deco and henna design, as my original reference. As you can see on (fig.1) Jacqueline Mina made a brooch with beautiful colour and patterns. I like the way she arranges the shapes, the shape in the bottom looks like stiletto nail shape that is bellow on (fig.2).
