From the first discoveries of gold in the Ancient times, craftsmen
were inspired by its beauty and malleability to create jewelry not
only for adornment, but as a symbol of wealth and power. Throughout
history, gold was a rare metal and as such was afforded and worn
only by the wealthy. By the mid-19th century, the gold rushes in
California and Australia brought new resources and new machinery
which allowed gold articles to be mass produced and more easily
affordable. Learn more about gold by clicking
