7113.19 - Of other precious metal, whether or not plated or clad with precious metal:

This HTS category, 7113.19, encompasses articles of jewelry and parts thereof that are primarily made of precious metals, or metals clad with precious metal, *excluding* those made principally of silver. The precious metals involved can include gold, platinum, or other precious metals, and the articles may be plated or clad with precious metal as well. This designation applies to finished jewelry items as well as components intended for the manufacture of such jewelry.

The key distinction of this category from its sibling, 7113.11, lies in the base precious metal. While 7113.11 specifically covers articles of silver, 7113.19 addresses all other precious metals. Therefore, if an item of jewelry is primarily composed of gold, platinum, or a combination of precious metals other than silver, it would fall under this heading rather than 7113.11.

Within 7113.19, further distinctions are made to refine classification. The subcategory 7113.19.10.00 specifically addresses continuous lengths of chain and similar articles, suitable for manufacturing into jewelry. The subsequent "Other" subdivision within this heading is intended to capture all remaining jewelry and parts thereof made of precious metals (other than silver) not otherwise specified, including finished bracelets, necklaces, rings, earrings, and similar adornments.
