A Brief History of Gold
The Egyptians, largest producers of gold in the ancient
world, equated gold with the sun, the giver of life, and reserved
its use for pharaohs only.
The ancient Etruscans created meticulously hand wrought
objects using fine granules and threads of gold, a technique
still practiced today.
To this day, Chinese and Indian brides wear jewelry of no
less than 24-karat gold on their wedding day to ensure a lifetime
of good luck and happiness.
And, a gift of gold jewelry says love and permanence as
eloquently today as in all the ages past.
