Les essayeurs-jurés des métaux précieux sont plongés tous les jours dans le monde de l'or et de l'argent, du vrai et du faux, du titre et du poids. Un travail de précision [...] également ouvert aux femmes. [...] mieux que quiconque, ils savent que tout ce qui brille n'est pas or. Et leur travail ne se limite pas au simple contrôle du titre des objets en or, en argent ou platine, mais consiste en une quantité de tâches intéressantes et variées. Ainsi, l'essayeur-juré, homme ou femme, est responsable de la désignation exacte de tous les objets en métaux précieux importés en Suisse. Il effectue également des contrôles ponctuels de lingots, de solutions de métaux précieux et de cendres. Enfin, s'il s'agit d'objets plaqués or, il contrôle l'épaisseur de la couche et le poids. 1, record 2, French, - essayeur%2Djur%C3%A9%20des%20m%C3%A9taux%20pr%C3%A9cieux
