A precious metal is a rare, naturally occurring metallic chemical element of high economic value.

Chemically, the precious metals tend to be less reactive than most elements (see noble metal).

They are usually ductile and have a high lustre.

Historically, precious metals were important as currency but are now regarded mainly as investment and industrial commodities.

Gold, silver, platinum, and palladium each have an ISO 4217 currency code.

Jewellery or jewelry consists of small decorative items worn for personal adornment, such as brooches, rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets.

Jewellery may be attached to the body or the clothes, and the term is restricted to durable ornaments, excluding flowers for example.

For many centuries metal, often combined with gemstones, has been the normal material for jewellery, but other materials such as shells and other plant materials may be used.

It is one of the oldest type of archaeological artefact – with 100,000-year-old beads made from Nassarius shells thought to be the oldest known jewellery.

The basic forms of jewellery vary between cultures but are often extremely long-lived; in European cultures the most common forms of jewellery listed above have persisted since ancient times, while other forms such as adornments for the nose or ankle, important in other cultures, are much less common.

Historically, the most widespread influence on jewellery in terms of design and style have come from Asia.

Electronics is the science of controlling electrical energy electrically, in which the electrons have a fundamental role.

Electronics deals with electrical circuits that involve active electrical components such as vacuum tubes, transistors, diodes, integrated circuits, associated passive electrical components, and interconnection technologies.

Commonly, electronic devices contain circuitry consisting primarily or exclusively of active semiconductors supplemented with passive elements; such a circuit is described as an electronic circuit.

A watch is a small timepiece intended to be carried or worn by a person.

It is designed to keep working despite the motions caused by the person's activities.

A wristwatch is designed to be worn around the wrist, attached by a watch strap or other type of bracelet.

A pocket watch is designed for a person to carry in a pocket.

A car is a wheeled, self-powered motor vehicle used for transportation and a product of the automotive industry.

Most definitions of the term specify that cars are designed to run primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have four wheels with tyres, and to be constructed principally for the transport of people rather than goods.

The year 1886 is regarded as the birth year of the modern car.

In that year, German inventor Karl Benz built the Benz Patent-Motorwagen.

Cars did not become widely available until the early 20th century.

One of the first cars that was accessible to the masses was the 1908 Model T, an American car manufactured by the Ford Motor Company.

Cars were rapidly adopted in the United States of America, where they replaced animal-drawn carriages and carts, but took much longer to be accepted in Western Europe and other parts of the world.
