BeGolden in Fabulous Magazine

Although you can't see our products in the above image, our best-selling Seletti gold mugs and our gold teapot both featured in this weekend's Fabulous Magazine (News of the World 28/11/10). They look gorgeous in a festive interiors photoshoot which displays metallic hues, rich jewel colours and a touch of frost. Thanks to Sophie, the stylist who selected our products to be included!

Gorgeous Gold Dust Skull

I'm not actually sure that 'gorgeous' is the right word. This  gold skull amazing though and strangely mesmerising when you see it in the flesh. Made from ceramic and then dipped in gold and sprinkled in gold dust it is a work of art. We decided to invest in a few skulls as we've really noticed that they are scattered around everywhere at the moment and we'd read in one of the design magazines that they were going to become the 'antlers' of 2011. Also, we can't help but be swayed by everyone else and when we spoke to Andrew our supplier who makes them he said, ' I've only got a few gold ones left and one of the big fashion houses has shown interest in them for their next season'. We had to buy more.

Gold Exhibition at the Field Museum Chicago

Gold Exhibition at the Chicago Field Museum

I recently had a short trip to Chicago and when I saw that the renowned Field Museum was staging a temporary exhibition on Gold, I had to pay a visit. There were plenty of historical and scientific facts, but the most striking exhibit was the 300 square foot room covered in 23k gold leaf. I discovered that there is peach gold, purple gold and black gold as well as the better known white, yellow and pink versions. I also found out that my weight in gold would be worth over £3million! But overall, I was slightly disappointed - they could have done more to display the enduring beauty and glamour of gold (and it's application in fashion, interiors and jewellery). The obligatory gift shop at the end of the exhibition was disappointing - tacky gold knick knacks, they most definitely need some of our tasteful BeGolden delights in there.
