The 24 Karat Golden Comet is deeply inspired by historical elements dating back thousands of years to ancient Egypt, where the encaustic technique has its roots and where gold was an integral part of the culture and held spiritual meaning as a symbol of wealth, success, and status. Rare gold integrated into the encaustic technique through a process developed over 5 years of discovery, which involved 1000 hours of creation, 200 g of pure 24-karat gold, and a custom gold-plated frame. The Gavrieli 24-Karat Gold Collection is reserved for a single collector or institution to carry the legacy.
