The World Gold Council commissions gold couture

As the most precious of metals, gold has embodied power and allure throughout history. To celebrate its timeless, universal appeal and the richness of its meanings and messages, the World Gold Council sponsored the Power and Allure Exhibition at Goldsmiths’ Hall in London.

British artist-goldsmiths Wright & Teague and Polly Gasston were invited by the World Gold Council to capture these qualities and express them in two new visually arresting works of gold couture were view at the exhibition for the very first time.

This coverage shares their journey in the making of the designs and their individual interpretation of the qualities of gold, as well as showcasing some of the extraordinary gold items from the landmark exhibition celebrating the working and use of gold in the United Kingdom over the past 4500 years.
