	A good idea, but there are some problems. First off, copernicus should be copernicium, and zircon should be zirconium. Iodine appears purple, but indium and zirconium are silver-colored metals. Indium colors flames purple when burned, but doesn't look purple on its own. Zirconium is only purple if covered by an oxide layer of the right thickness (it could just as easily be silver, blue, gold, red, etc.). Some other elements named after the color of their spectral lines are cesium, rubidium, and thallium. Rhodium, chromium, bismuth, and praseodymium are named after the colors of their compounds. As far as I know, the only two named after the color of the element itself are chlorine and iodine. So that's several possibilities for color-based sets there. Finally, titanium isn't a precious metal, even though it's used in jewelry sometimes. It's quite cheap compared to gold and even to silver. Try platinum or another platinum group metal instead (eg. rhodium, palladium).
