Fun Facts

The gold that is universally known and loved has been around for centuries. And over time, a lot of fun facts have come to light on the composition, history, and usage of the world’s most valued metal. Here are some fun facts about gold:

1. The Gold Leaf…Gold as food!?- The Gold Leaf is a flake or dust of gold that is used on and in some gourmet foods most notably in sweets and drinks as an extreme decorative ingredient. These Gold Flakes were used by nobles in Medieval Europe as a decoration in food and drinks to show their wealth.

2. The Gold Liquor- There is a traditional German herbal liqueur called “Danziger Goldwasser” that contains Gold Leaf. It is still made and sold today.

3. The Earliest known Map- the earliest known map to have ever been discovered is called the “Turin Papyrus Map” and dates to around 1160 BC. This map shows the plans of a gold mine.

Gold Renaissance

“A renaissance (http://lfpress.ca/newsstand/Today/Fashion/2008/04/29/5416196-sun.html) in gold is happening,” Duvall O’Steen, spokesperson for the gold council, who notes gold has been embraced in home decor, beauty products, vodka and even cigars wrapped in gold leaf.

People tend to like things as they become more expensive and right now this means people like gold! However, some consumers are concerned about buying “dirty gold.” Dirty Gold is gold that results from mining practices that are bad for workers and the environment. Vintage gold or recycled gold is one option to avoid dirty gold. The vintage gold won’t have the color and shine of the now trendy 20 or 22 karat gold pieces we see now though.

When purchasing luxury goods and gold, the rich color looks regal and important. Texture is also desirable and often achieved with laser etching, and mixing gold and ceramics, such as an open-link bracelet with every third link made of a ceramic material.
