Gold has adorned human beings for more than six thousand years. It has been currency, currency, symbol of divine power, and the most universal expression of love and commitment the world has ever known. Today, it remains the metal of choice for the majority of fine jewellery sold in the United Kingdom — and for good reason. Gold does not tarnish, corrode, or degrade. It holds intrinsic value. And worked by a skilled craftsperson, it becomes something genuinely beautiful.
