>     Electrum is an alloy of fine silver and pure gold 

    Electrum is a naturally occurring alloy, primarily composed of
    naturally occurring gold, naturally occurring silver, some copper,
    and traces of many other elements depending on location where it is
    found. The range of colors is controlled by the presence of trace
    elements. 

    Electrum is the very first metal used for jewellery in ancient world.
    In myth of Herakles, the shield used by Herakles was made by
    Hephaestus from electrum and ivory. 

    To say that electrum is an alloy of fine silver and pure gold is
    imprecise and diminutive of the role of electrum in Jewellery.
