Gold Fashioned

Europeans believed that somewhere in the new world there was a place of immense wealth known as El Dorado. Legend has it that when a new Muisca chieftain rose to power, his rule began with a ceremony at lake Guatavita, deep in the Andes mountain range of Colombia. The new ruler was called “The Golden One” as he was covered in gold dust and submerged in lake Guatavita to appease the gods that lived underwater.

To honor the persistent obsession to find the lost treasures of El Dorado, our Gold Fashioned is an ode to everything gold and gilded.
