This is a world where copper and iron are mentioned in the same breath
as silver and gold. Metals are rare and precious. Metal trimming on
the dress makes Sev think it has an "antique quality." Since Valeria's
family has come down in the world it's unlikely they could afford to
buy such things. It has either been passed down to her or she herself
is from an earlier time.
