Not Every Object Should Be Melted.

Gold carries value beyond its weight.

Throughout history, gold objects have marked important moments, expressed identity, reflected craftsmanship, and preserved cultural memory. While many items are best recycled and returned to use, some possess qualities that deserve to be retained.

The Archive is a curated collection of reclaimed gold and precious metal objects selected for their craftsmanship, symbolism, historical significance, rarity, or material character.

The collection may include:

Vintage chains and jewellery

Historical adornments

Reclaimed ceremonial and symbolic objects

Collectible precious metal artefacts

Pieces that reflect distinctive periods of design or craftsmanship

Each object is documented and preserved as part of an evolving archive of material history.

By preserving selected pieces, we recognise that the true value of some objects extends beyond the metal from which they are made.
