<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 4372706, member: 5833&quot;]I don&#039;t feel like researching this, so maybe someone else will know, but I seem to recall that not so very long ago Britons were legally restricted in how much gold they were allowed to own &amp; that this played into how much was used in jewellery.&nbsp; And once told that in Ireland much gold was 9ct because it was all most people could afford.&#039;[&#039;[&#039;[&#039;[&#039;[&#039;[&#039;[&#039;[&#039;[&#039;[&#039;[&#039;[&#039;[&#039;[&#039;[&#039;[&#039;[&#039;[&#039;[&#039;[&#039;[&#039;[&#039;] (My cat likes to type.)&nbsp; Pinchbeck may have looked more like higher quality gold than 9ct.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
