Cox was a goldsmith and a
entrepreneur.
James Cox proclaimed himself
a goldsmith who "Makes Great
Variety of Curious
Wares in Gold, Silver and other
METALS.
Yet most of his life he was an
entrepreneur.
Cox produced lavishly
ornamented articles for trade
with the Far East, first with
India and then with China,
where the reception of his
"toys" or "sing songs," as the
Chinese are believed to have
called them, was at first a
success.
3. Silver-topped gold was an innovation by English jeweler
James Cox, c. 1767, which allowed silver to be backed
by gold. Prior to this, gems being set in white metal
were set in silver only. If the jewelry was not cleaned
constantly, silver tarnish rubbing directly onto skin could
leave marks or stain fabric.
