Gold in the old manners of the Silk Road — made now, tested, weighed, and priced on the page.
Everything here is a contemporary piece working in an ancient idiom: the forms, the techniques and the imagery are those of Gandhāra, the Kushan lands and the steppe, and the gold is new. Nothing here is an antique. Every piece carries its gold content, its weight and its price.

What you are buying
A piece of gold made now, in the forms the goldsmiths of the ancient Silk Road used: sheet gold raised in repoussé, openwork animals in the manner of the steppe, rings built up in filigree and granulation, engraved stones and beads.
Every piece has been tested by X-ray fluorescence and weighed, and both results are on its page — gold content to a tenth of a per cent, weight to the gram. Most of the collection reads between 72 and 78 per cent gold, which is to say around 18 karat. None of it is an antique, and we attach no claim of age to any of it.
Prices run from $340 to $7,400 and include packing. The smaller pieces are under a thousand dollars; the larger are priced by weight, because at that size most of what you are paying for is gold. We ship worldwide, insured, and anything bought unseen can be sent back within fourteen days.
