English Gold Box Circa 1790
Artist: Matthew Boulton - Josiah Wedgwood
This gold box combines two of the most popular elements of English jewelry of the last quarter of the 18th century:
Highly polished cut steel beads
Blue and white cameos of Wedgwood jasper.
Industrialist Matthew Boulton (1728–1809) of Birmingham, specializing in cut steel articles, is known for collaborating with Josiah Wedgwood (1730–1795) in combining jasper cameos and steel frames to make buttons, watch gussets and châtelaunes. It is likely that this box comes from the Boulton factory.
This box is also mounted in gold.

A gold object isn't just an investment; it's an heirloom.
It's a rare, timeless piece that spans generations without losing its value or beauty. Unlike material goods that wear out or go out of style, gold remains intact; it can be passed down, and it tells a story. Giving or acquiring a gold object combines elegance with security, pleasure with heritage.
