Welcome to Old School Goldsmith
Goldsmithing has been with us for thousands of years. Superb artifacts from ancient cultures on nearly every continent illustrate techniques used to create astonishingly beautiful jewelry in ancient times. Though some methods used by these ancient artisans have been lost, many techniques have stood the test of time, and still find expression at the hands of today’s old-school goldsmiths. Like their predecessors, these craftsmen are passing on, and some of their methods will pass with them.
