In this year's Goldsmiths' Company Lecture, anthropologist, economist and author Gillian Tett traces the deep entanglement of metal and money from ancient coinage to digital currency, asking how societies create, preserve — and, sometimes, lose — their sense of value.

On Monday 6 July, explore the work of two internationally acclaimed British artists in jewellery David Watkins (b.1940) and Wendy Ramshaw CBE (1939-2018) in the company of curators and modern jewellery specialists, Rachel Church, Amanda Game, Dr. Frances Parton, and Dr. Dora Thornton at the Goldsmiths’ Centre.

The talk launches a new book, Watkins + Ramshaw: A New Vision published by the Goldsmiths’ Company, drawing together new research on both artists developed for an exhibition of the same name at Goldsmiths Hall in 2025.

Hallmarking is one of the world's oldest forms of consumer protection – a guarantee to those buying and selling items made of precious metals that they have been expertly tested, and that the marks they bear truthfully reveal their composition – a proud responsibility of the Goldsmiths’ Company since 1327.

But where you have systems designed to protect buyers and sellers, you will also find those intent on acts of deception - cunning artificers, who create fakes and forgeries, not just of the objects, but of the hallmarks themselves. 

Explore the world of fakes and forgeries in antique British Silver, and get hands-on experience with objects from the London Assay Office’s Fakes & Forgeries Collection under the expert guidance of GHAC members.
