L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts in Hong Kong is temporarily closed and will reopen in end of November as the campus undergoes renovation works.
Do you really know the secrets of gold, an astonishing material that has aroused curiosity and covetousness since Antiquity? A malleable material often associated with notions of power and protection, yellow gold is also widely used in contemporary art, as in the work of American artist Daniel Brush (1947-2022), who has appropriated the precious skills of Mycenaean and Etruscan goldsmiths.
