About
Gold is a pure element (Aurum) caught up in stone deep below the surface of the earth. Ore deposits are formed through the imperceptible, aeonian shifting of the tectonic plates which, over millennia, are brought close enough to the surface for extraction. This process is elaborate and takes time, which means refined gold will always be highly valued, even more so when turned into intentional objects of beauty by the hands of skilled artisans.
The ancient Egyptian pharaohs and queens were famous for gold ornamentation in their jewelry and burial chambers. They believed that their deities shone with a golden light – it was a divine and invincible metal. Gold has even changed the course of world history several times: once by the rumors of decadent golden cities in ancient Central America and again several hundred years later when rich gold deposits were discovered in the North American west. Gold has an ancient history and a timeless allure.
