The Power of Provenance
On 5 November, Single Mine Origin brought together the worlds of gold, jewellery and responsible sourcing at Goldsmiths’ Hall for an evening celebrating the Power of Provenance – and the extraordinary things that can happen when we know not only what something is made from, but where it came from.
At the heart of the evening was a simple idea: provenance gives gold a story.
