What is the tone?

Contrary to what ordinary people often supposed, the pieces of jewellery are not made of precious metals in its pure form.
In fact, the precious metals in this state are very little trabalháveis.
If a vulgar alliance of marriage, for example, was done in fine gold, its resistance to deformation is so small that the usual activities of everyday life of an ordinary user would be sufficient for the damage constantly.
Therefore, the goldsmith had, ever, need to add other metals to precious metals that worked, in order to obtain an alloy suitable for the type of work aimed at producing.
The quantity of precious metal existing in the league is translated by indicating the ringing of the same, meaning that the higher it is the touch of a larger piece is the existing content of precious metal per unit mass of this piece.
The word title is also often used instead of ringing.
