- Sterling Silver - Sterling silver is a mixture of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% of another metal, usually copper. Fine silver is 99.9% pure silver, and is relatively soft and the addition of the very small amount of copper gives the metal enough strength and hardness to be worked into jewellery, decorative and household objects.
- Federation Period - The Federation style in architecture and furniture is broadly the Australian equivalent of the English Edwardian period and extended from 1890 to 1915. The name relates to Australia becoming a Federation in 1901, when the colonies became the Commonwealth of Australia.
