TIL! Aluminium is an extremely useful metal, but I would never have thought it would be used for jewelry - I mean, it's not enough for the metal to be expensive, it also has to look and feel desirable, which soft and dull Aluminium definitely doesn't. If you have ever held Aluminium cutlery in your hand, it just feels cheap compared to stainless steel (not to mention silver).

Today it isn't used for jewelry. 200 years ago it was - not so much to wear, but to show off that you were rich enough to afford it. Only royalty could afford things made out of aluminum.
