Nickel
Nickel is a silvery-white chemical element sometime used in alloying gold. Nickel has been used since ancient times in bronzes. In modern times it is found in stainless steel, batteries, magnets and in alloying other metals.

You find it on the periodic table of the elements, just like titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni) and vanadium (V).
Corundum is made up of Al2O3, with the aluminum in the Al3+ valence state.
Nickel may substitute for the cobalt in erythrite to form the mineral annabergite (Ni3(AsO4)2-8H2O), sometimes called "nickel bloom".
Also included in this group are metallic and semi-metallic alloys, which are minerals composed only of two or more metallic or semi-metallic elements of varying percentage; two examples are Iron-Nickel (Fe,Ni) and Allemontite (As,Sb).

White gold is created from yellow gold by alloying it with copper, nickel, zinc and occasionally silver. White gold is a lot less expensive than platinum because of it's high content of alloys that are cheaper than gold.
White gold and sterling silver pieces often contain a metal called 'nickel' which can cause allergic reactions in some people. Stainless jewelry can be (but is not always) made without nickel making it suitable for those allergic to nickel.
Most gold used in jewelry is alloyed with silver, copper and small amounts of zinc to produce various shades of yellow gold, or with nickel, copper and zinc to produce white gold.
Higher levels of chromium and the addition of other alloying elements such as nickel and molybdenum improve the corrosion resistance and make them easier to fabricate.
At the concentrations found in these meteorites, iron and nickel do not mix, but separate into two types of crystals; plates of the low-nickel alloy kamacite grow in octahedral shapes, with the high-nickel taenite alloy filling in the spaces.
What is referred to, as 'white gold' is gold alloyed with nickel or palladium, often with some zinc and copper to improve malleability. Nickel has a better hardening effect than palladium, but is used less today due to potential toxicity.
Most current jewelry alloys no longer contain nickel which is a common metal allergen. Metal allergies, however, can occur with almost any metal, typically manifesting as a rash.
By adding white metals such as nickel, zinc or palladium to yellow gold, the deep yellow of pure gold begins to whiten. To enhance the whiteness, almost all white gold is rhodium plated.
All our gold body jewellery is of the highest quality and complies with all assay and nickel testing requirements. We do not stand for any inferior quality gold or workmanship.
It gets its sleek silvery-white tinge from being alloyed with silver, nickel, zinc, or palladium. White gold jewelry is a great alternative to pure silver since it does not oxidize and therefore is tarnish resistant.
Natural moissanite is the rarest and it is limited to the iron-nickel meteorites. Few other are from ultra-mafic igneous occurances. Moissanite is also grown in laboratories and is used as a diamond simulant, apart from gemstone.
White gold is an alloy of gold and nickel, sliver, or palladium. The inclusion of white metals in the alloy give white gold its silvery color.
The ore is primarily pyrrhotite, slightly nickeliferous, with smaller percentages of pyrite, magnetite and chalcopyrite. In addition to iron, the ore has a 30 percent sulfur content, .5percent copper content, and .
Chrysoprase is the most valued variety of the mineral chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz) that contains nickel, giving it an apple-green color. Chrysoprase is porous and translucent.
are alloys of gold combined with base metal, usually various combination of silver, copper, zinc, tin, cadmium, or nickel. None of the alloys contain all of the above base metals, and 10k yellow and 14k medium yellow may contain nickel.
Founded in 1873 by the inventive locksmith Jakob Bengel, the company first produced pocket watch chains in brass, tombac and silver, as well as a nickel alloy called 'Doublé Americaine'.
Base system compositions used for obtaining white gold are the Gold-Palladium-Silver and the Gold-Copper-Nickel-Zinc systems. Nickel is a metal capable of penetrating the blood circulation through the skin and causing severe allergic symptoms.
German silver (also know as nickel silver) is an alloy consisting of mostly copper (roughly 60 percent), and approximately 20 percent nickel, about 20 percent zinc, and sometimes about 5 percent tin (then the alloy is called alpaca).
