Precious metals are rare, organically occurring, metallic elementals that have an inherent value. They do not usually oxidize or corrode, and they don’t naturally tarnish. The main precious metals are considered to be gold, silver, palladium and platinum – which are all used in jewellery, but which also have a range of different applications. Precious metals have been used for currency and jewellery throughout human history, and more recently, metals like gold are used in devices including mobiles and computer software. Some precious metals are seen as concrete stores of wealth during times of market uncertainty – known as safe havens.

Base metals are common metals that will naturally oxidise, corrode or tarnish. Examples include copper, lead, nickel and zinc. These metals are used to make products such as copper pipes, or to make alloys such as nichrome – which is an alloy of nickel and chromium.
