This publication looks at an intriguing period in Australia’s history through gold and silver jewellery and presentation pieces. In the latter half of the 19th century, the gold rush attracted many gold and silversmiths from Europe to Australia to supply the needs of the new rich as well as seek out their own fortunes. This book reveals their creation of a uniquely Australian style. Published to coincide with the opening exhibition at the Sydney Mint Museum.
