The yin-yang symbolism is wonderfully suited to our new AURUNA® gold-iron alloys. They combine the precious, soft gold and the non-precious, hard iron to form a perfect, complementary final layer. The combination of both elements offers advantages over the previously predominant hard gold alloys with cobalt or nickel in the following areas: Safety: Reduction of health and safety concerns Cost-effectiveness: Cost savings and improved operational efficiency Ethics: Sustainable and conflict-free procurement of materials Find out more about our perfect symbiosis of gold and iron: https://lnkd.in/eStVErjx
