GOLD JEWELLERY



Craftsmen have been inspired by gold’s beauty for thousands of years, and have regularly used it to create symbols of wealth and power. As Pindar wrote nearly 2,500 years ago, ‘Gold is the child of Zeus, neither moth nor rust devoureth it.’ Today, gold is still treasured as a basic form of saving in many countries, but there’s no doubt it exists primarily as a decorative material

It’s not surprising that most people think of gold as an expensive, luxurious metal. You only need to read about gold's extra ordinary history to see how that came to be. But gold has an alter-ego – as an incredibly versatile and useful material in science and technology. In fact, our ever-expanding use of technology has actually been a major factor in recent increases in the demand for gold.
