Premiere of Gold Light – the first jewel with gold nanoparticles

The premiere of Luz de Oro (Gold Light) will take place on December 12, 2012, at 7pm at the Hotel Mercer (Carrer dels Lledó, 7) in Barcelona city.

Gold Light is an exciting new jewellery product based on gold nanoparticles, the fruit of a collaboration between our group and the entrepreneurs Roberto Caligari and Joan Peris, artisanal jewellers who work in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. The team has sought to exploit the fascinating behaviour of nanoparticles of noble metals (gold, platinum, silver, etc.) for jewellery, especially the way they interact with light. This has lead to the creation of a series of jewels where the precious metals take a new shape, resulting in unexpected light and color presentations.
