Luxury skimming stone with belt pouch by Dominic Wilcox<\/p><\/div>\n

While the world is singing its praises about the Alexander McQueen exhibition at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, the exhibition we are most excited about is the museum’s current “What is Luxury?” exhibition<\/a>. \u00a0Luxury can be interpreted in so many ways\u2026 Some place it on par with “expensive”, for some it is “rarity” or “exclusivity”. \u00a0Craftsmanship, bespoke and precious are other words associated with Luxury\u00a0and for some, it is simply “time”.<\/p>\n

At Goldgenie, we have long enjoyed turning modern technology and every day items into luxury items with our Midas Touch and the “What is Luxury” exhibition explores several perspectives on luxury. \u00a0Our favourite piece of course is the 24 carat Gold leaf pebble by Dominic Wilcox. \u00a0Playing with the nostalgic\u00a0activity of stone-skimming, Wilcox conveys the notion of singling out a commonplace thing, merging it with luxury ideals, only to be thrown away. \u00a0Nonchalance and the ability to let go of precious things is the ultimate luxury.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is at the V & A Museum, South Kensington, London until 27th September 2015. \u00a0Well worth a visit and we’d love to hear your ideas on it!<\/p>\n
