Gold is extremely difficult to destroy.

The reason why gold is so widely used in the jewellery, electronic and medical industries lies in the properties of this precious metal: it is virtually indestructible.

Gold has a melting point of 1064.18°C, it does not oxidise, does not grow mouldy, does not rust and can be recycled an infinite number of times. This means that the gold ring you wear every day may once have been the jewellery of someone who lived in a completely different century.
