It was, for a brief period of time, considered more expensive than gold, largely due to how difficult it was to refine the metal at the time, making it a rather novel material. It was first seen in jewellery in the 1850 as an alternative to silver, and was exhibited by a number of jewellers in the 1867 Paris Exhibition.
