      &lt;p class=&quot;JNLC-title&quot;&gt;metals&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p class=&quot;JNLC-copy&quot;&gt;The word metal is related to the Greek word &amp;quot;metallan&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;to search after&amp;quot; from the greek &amp;quot;metallon&amp;quot;, and Latin &amp;quot;metallum&amp;quot;, both meaning &amp;quot;mine or metal&amp;quot;. Jewelry has been, and still is made of many other materials, but jewelry making remains essentially an art and technology employing metals. Of the more than 70 pure metals that exsist, about 40 have commercial importance, and approximately half that number are used in jewelry itself.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p class=&quot;JNLC-copy&quot;&gt;Traditionally, metals have certain characteristic physical properties: they are usually shiny (they have metallic luster), have a high density, are ductile and malleable, usually have a high melting point, are usually hard, are usually a solid at room temperature and conduct electricity, heat and sound well. However, this is mainly because the low density, soft, low melting point metals happen to be reactive, and we rarely encounter them in their elemental, metallic form.&lt;/p&gt;
