Add a touch of timeless glamour to Christmas

Gold is a timeless classic. It’s appreciated, admired, and even coveted year round, but is never more prominent and beautifully relevant than at Christmas time. This is hardly surprising, considering the biblical tale of the magi bearing gifts for the new born king, bringing gold as their most valuable offering. The symbolism with this is clear; gold is not only a colour of respect and royalty, but a colour of warmth, love and giving.

 

As something that has been immersed in rich symbolism for so long, the key to using gold well is knowing where the right balance lies. Elegant, luxurious hues and textures stay timeless when used in the correct proportions and context, but too much, or in the wrong place, and you risk denying an incredible object its full worth or beauty.

This is why we’ve curated a unique edit of exactly what we believe is the perfect kind of gold, ideal for gifting to loved ones with thought and care, or for furnishing your own home with that special something during the festive season.

 

This wish list, hand curated with care by BONADEA founder Gemma, is the epitome of Christmas glamour, but with pieces that will stand the test of time, complimenting a range of colour schemes and seasons throughout the year. Entertaining at home has never looked so good!
