Gold is almost impervious to time and so ancient jewellery has often survived in near pristine condition. Jewellery is one of the closest links with the past, it was an intimate precious possession of an individual yet, at the same time, in terms of the materials from which it is made, and it reflects the economic power and ever expanding trade routes of the civilisations that produced it.
